Long Description:From the Chicago Tribune, Dec 15, 1935: "The WPA project will
provide work for 35 men, including laborers, carpenters, masons,
and supervisory foremen. The project will include a large
shelter...32x17 feet...and will be open on all sides with
overhanging eaves so as to provide protection against sudden
storms."
I have used this shelter many times. Thanks, men!
