Notes

The Guthrie swimming is readily believed to have been built by the WPA but the Oklahoma Historic Society’s WPA survey found that the structure and pool was originally planned to be a WPA project but was never funded by WPA, thus it was built by a City Bond Issue in 1949. (OKLM).

Langston Stadium and Football Field was identified by OKLM as WPA yet a Daily Oklahoman article Dated June 13, 2003 states the original field was built in 1949.
