Oxford, Massachusetts’s old high school received assistance from multiple New Deal programs during the 1930s. In 1933 the Civil Works Administration (CWA) painted and decorated the school building, a project continued under the federal Emergency Relief Administration.
The building, now known as the Norman J. LeBlanc, Sr., Memorial Building, now houses private offices.
