  • Lafayette County Courthouse - Lewisville AR
    The Lafayette County Courthouse (built from 1940-1942) was funded 40% by the WPA (Arkansas Historic Preservation Program). It is in the Art Deco style typical of the period, which means it was more restrained than the earlier Art Deco style of architecture, prior to the depression. The architects were Clippard and Vaught.
  • Spruce St. - Lewisville AR
    Spruce Street is identified as a WPA project, paved April 1938, by an etching in the pavement at the corner of Spruce and Second Street. The mayor's name during the project appears to be J. M. Talkett. Arkansas employed more than half of their relief workers on the road and street program (WPA Highway, Road, and Street Projects, 1936 Report on the Progress of the Works Program, October 15, 1936).
