• Gorman School - Gorman CA
    The Gorman School was built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1939.  The Mission Revival style design (red tile roof, beige stucco) was common for New Deal buildings in California.  The stone retaining wall and sidewalk are probably WPA, as well. The original school building had only two classrooms, but a new building has been added to the south.  The old building has changed very little in appearance. The school sits in a relatively isolated spot, as Gorman is a dispersed, mountainous rural area near Fort Tejon along Interstate 5.   It is still in use as an elementary school.
