Konantz School

In 1935, the Konantz School District applied for a WPA project to construct a new stone school building with a full basement and stage, large enough to also serve as a community center. According to the project application: "The present school house is very much in need of repair, for it was badly damaged during the dust storm last spring. It does not provide enough room for classes, especially those of lower grades." A WPA crew of 45 men began construction in late 1935 and completed work in 1938. Workers dug rock from a quarry about 200 yards from the school.
