• Elim Elementary School - Hilmar CA
    The school (originally the Elim Union Elementary School) was one of three major projects by the WPA in Hilmar during the mid 30s. The other two were the Merquin Elementary School and the Lander Gym at the Hilmar High School. Elim Elementary was completed in 1936 and opened in 1937.
  • Hilmar Unified School District Office/Lander Gym - Hilmar CA
    The WPA built this building as the Lander Gym, then part of the Hilmar Union High School. It now serves as the Hilmar Unified School District office. "During the construction of the high school gym, students could skip school to help with the building, Grant said, which made some students happy. In April of 1936, the high school received a $6,626.86 check from the federal government, the first of several payments for the new gym, according to the Hilmar-Irwin Enterprise. L. Ubels, the gym's contractor, was eventually paid $24,488 for the work." - https://www.mercedsunstar.com/2010/05/01/1406511/wpa-elim-elementary.html
