Original Edmond Community Center - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

In 1935, during the Great Depression, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt established the WPA (Works Progress Administration - later renamed Work Projects Administration), to provide employment for thousands of impoverished people in the U.S. Over 93,000 Oklahomans alone worked on WPA projects during the years 1935 to 1943.

Located on 3rd Street, west of Broadway, this rock-constructed WPA project was originally the Edmond Community Center. Its cornerstone is dated March 30, 1936. It later became the home of the Edmond Senior Citizens until 2005, and now houses the U R Special Ministries.

A ramp, awning and building extension have been added to this original building.
