Community Building - Lindsay, OK - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

There's nothing more fun than driving through a small Oklahoma town, rounding a corner, and "discovering" a WPA-constructed building. In Oklahoma, a great many are built out of the red native sandstone. This Community Building is built of rusticated natural stone which projects unevenly, giving it an appealing look.

There is a bronze WPA shield to the left of the entrance near the southwest corner, and another shield at the northeast corner. These read: USA / 1940 / WPA / Oklahoma. On the southeast corner of the building, a large stone cornerstone reads:

Community Building
1940
City Council
Bob Pratt - Mayor
John Garrett - Member
Dave Dillard - Member
Chas. Callahan - City Mgr.
H.R. Hunter - Engr.
R.E. Fisher - Bldg. Supt.
J.E. Brooks - Adv. Mem.

Above the main entrance on the east side of the building a stone reads: Municipal Building / 19 Lindsay, Okla. 40. The building is rectangular in shape, with slight projections at the southwest and southeast corners. An 18 inch stone band encircles the building at the ground level. The building has a flat roof with stone coping. There is a stepped parapet over the east entrance, with projected stone pilasters flanking the entrance. The door is aluminum and glass with sidelights and has two small fixed pane windows on either side. All other windows are larger and have fixed panes. The building is currently occupied by the Delta Community Action Foundation.
