"The WPA built a brick gymnasium for what was then the Will Rogers High School in 1940. 1985 Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory surveyed the site and gave the following description:
'“[The] gymnasium is a two level, rectangular shaped (104' x 79') building constructed from buff colored brick. It has a high arched roof with stepped parapets… Brick quoins on the corners, and raised brickwork friezes add decorative relief to the structure…
"Along with two NYA constructed buildings on the campus of Will Rogers High School, a project of this size constituted a tremendous resource for the community of Vinita.”
"The gymnasium is still standing and is now part of the Vinita High School." ~ Living New Deal
