Description
The Works Progress Administration built the recreation building at the Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford OK.
Contributor note:
“Once part of the university campus, this building is currently owned and used by the Weatherford Public School System.
This is a native sandstone building constructed by the WPA in 1938. The front elevation, facing east on Broadway is one-story, and the rear (west side) is two stories.
The windows are double hung, 3-over-2 and 2-over-2, with the lower level at the rear having boarded up windows. On the south side of the building, an exterior staircase leads to the front, between the building and a stone wall. The building is currently used by the Weatherford school system as an art studio.”
