Description

The Works Progress Administration built the Shops and Recreation Building for the Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Today the building serves as the Weatherford Public School Maintenance Building.

Contributor note:

“Located south of the State University, this building was once part of that campus.

This building was originally pat of the university and was known as Southwest State Shops and Recreation Building. It is located on N. Broadway, across from the Weatherford Public Schools, and is currently used by that school system as a maintenance building.

This is a native stone building which is one-story on the east elevation (front), and two-stories on the west side (rear). The front, facing Broadway, has two pedestrian doors, and casement windows. In the rear, the second level has casement windows, and the first level has large window openings which are boarded up. The roof is hipped and shingled.”
