• Healdsburg Elementary School Additions - Healdsburg CA
    The Works Progress Administration (WPA) helped with the construction of the Healdsburg Elementary School in 1935.  WPA workers improved the playgrounds and finished the interior of the school auditorium.   The style of the building is Mission Revival, which was very popular in California in the 1920s and 1930s. There is a plaque put up when the school was reconstructed in the 1980s, but it does not mention the federal aid of the 1930s. This building is still in use.
  • Healdsburg High School Athletic Field - Healdsburg CA
    The Works Progress Administration (WPA) developed athletic fields for Healdsburg High School in Healdsburg, California.   They lie on the east side of the school, which is still in its original location. Much of the original baseball field appeared intact in 2018 but a fancy new soccer field has been built on the west portion of the fields and we could not verify that the baseball diamond is still there.
  • Tayman Park Golf Course Improvements - Healdsburg CA
    The Works Progress Administration (WPA) helped develop the 67 acres of Tayman in Healdsburg CA and the municipal golf course in the park. We cannot be sure of what parts of the golf course were done by the WPA.  Tne rock walls around the entry gate, clubhouse and parking lot look typical of WPA relief workers' handiwork.
  • Water and Sewer System Expansion - Healdsburg CA
    "The sewer and water-main projects provided the city with an extensive system of new mains in addition to the replacement of old ones, no longer large enough to meet the requirements of the city. By 1938, 8,500 feet of sewer mains and 9,160 feet of water mains had been installed."
