Description
Relief workers of the federal Work Projects Administration (WPA) constructed a low wall along West Kaahumanu Avenue (then Main Street) in Kahului, Maui in 1939.
The wall, which is about 100 yards long, originally formed part of the boundary of a school campus. It is marked on one end with the initials WPA and 1939.
