Description
The Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) conducted work at the since-demolished Whitney School, which had been located on [South] School Street in South Ashburnham, in 1937.
W.P.A. Bulletin: “In Ashburnham a long needed assembly room will be available for pupils of Emmeline Jewell Whitney School when a current project is completed. In order to create the assembly hall partitions are being removed and “accordion” style folding doors installed. Steal beams will support the weight formerly held up by the partitions.”
