Pavement in front of Veterans’ Memorial Hall – Martinez CA

Martinez, CA

Infrastructure and Utilities, Sidewalks and Stairs

New Deal Agencies:
Work Relief Programs, Works Progress Administration (WPA)

Description

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) laid pavement at the base of the flag pole in front of the Martinez Veterans’ Memorial Building. They may have reset the flag pole, as well, and built the curved walkways in front of the building.  There is a WPA stamp in the concrete which is undated.

This may have been part of the larger WPA project to improve streets and sidewalks around the city of Martinez, but it is distinctive and visible enough to merit a separate entry.
