Pocasset Auditorium - Pocasset, OK - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

The Pocasset Gymnasium was designed by architect, Walter T. Vahlberg and constructed by the WPA in 1940-41. The building is still in use by the local school district and has housed grades 1 thru 6 since the 1960s. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

This is a one-story rectangular building with a barrel roof. The exterior walls are native sandstone. It maintains a horizontal appearance due to white concrete coping and a concrete belt course wrapping around the south side.

Attached on the west side is a one-story, flat-roofed shop-finishing room extension which has large 16- and 20-pane windows, with two pedestrian and one overhead door entrances on the west side.

The gymnasium entrance is a rounded, single door entrance, with boarded up sidelights and transom. The six windows on the south side are also boarded.
