Description
A waterworks construction project in Barstow, Texas was undertaken in 1938-9 with Public Works Administration (P.W.A.) funds. The P.W.A. provided a $31,000 loan and $25,363 grant for the project, whose total cost was $55,967. It is likely that Barstow’s current water tower, located on San Marcos Street between Mackey and Briggs, was constructed at this time.
