Description:
OKLM: Unable to locate, need to look further. Library had no information on this, and they have a great deal of data on WPA in the area. The wall was mentioned in “Stroud 100 Years, 1892-1992” book by the Stroud Historic Society. Page 45 stated “In March 1936 a six-foot stone wall was built to enclose a block and a half of the high school property.”
WPA Appropriations: $21,328.
Although the OKLM entry discusses unable to locate with a last entry of 2017, the stadium one block from the library has native stone around it. The stadium was reconstructed in 2017 but the wall was kept as part of the history of the stadium.
The book also stated “At the same time, a home economics cottage was begun on the east side of the school campus north of the school. These were some of President Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration projects. Lack of funds halted the completion of the cottage until late 1937.”
