Description
Multiple New Deal-supported construction projects were undertaken on the campus of Winthrop University during the 1930s. “The WPA also directed the relocation and reconstruction of the chapel—believed to be designed by Robert Mills—in which Winthrop classes were first held in Columbia, before the college moved to Rock Hill.” (sc.gov)
