• Newport School - Newport TX
    A three classroom school was constructed in Newport, Texas during the Great Depression with the assistance of funds from the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The ranch-style rock building was constructed to replace a frame school that had previously been destroyed by fire. Two of the classrooms were separated by a sliding partition that could be opened to create an auditorium. The WPA funded $5,762 of the approximate $9,000 cost of construction.
