Brenham High School Gymnasium – Brenham, TX - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Living New Deal Website
The property is an excellent example of Rustic architecture that characterized labor-intensive craftsmanship, government building in the 1930s. Its use of local stone as a veneer siding and attention to the utilitarian aspect of the building are typical features of the period.

Constructed with locally available building materials in the traditions of the Rustic Style, the Brenham High School Gymnasium combines a native fieldstone veneer with metal factory-sash and massing reminiscent of the International Style. Ranging from 1 to 3 stories, the structure is composed of geometric building blocks which express the different functions housed within.
