"Although the Great Depression was not as devastating in Oregon as it was in other parts of the country, its affects were felt locally. Oregon City was the recipient of a variety of funds from federal programs, many of which results in new improvements in the downtown area. A new Clackamas County Courthouse was constructed in 1936-1937 with assistance from the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The highway underpass was also constructed in 1936-1937 with WPA funding. The Singer Creek Falls and Steps were constructed in 1936 with funding from the WPA. Other federally funded projects in Oregon City included a new high school, a new grade school, a new swimming pool, and street and highway improvements."
