• Marinette County Courthouse - Marinette WI
    The striking Art Deco-style Marinette County Courthouse was constructed in 1941-2, and its construction was tied to F.D.R.'s New Deal. At the time, a project of this scale would have likely proceeded with a Public Works Administration (P.W.A.) grant; however the local government's application for such funding assistance fell through. The Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) would become involved with multiple aspects of the courthouse's development: razing the previous courthouse on the site; construction of the new building; and landscaping the sidewalks and property surrounding the new structure.
