Description
The New Deal funded the construction of a new Loara Elementary School in Anahiem, CA. Partial funding came from the Public Works Administration (PWA).
The original Loara School was demolished and replaced in 1936. You can still visit a school bell which was a part of the original 1888 Loara School building.
The school appears to have been rebuilt again in recent years.
