| Description of Significance |
THE ARKOMA SCHOOL WAS A WPA PROJECT IN LEFLORE COUNTY BETWEEN 1936 AND 1937. THIS FOUR ROOM SANDSTONE SCHOOL BUILDING HAS A HIPPED ROOF WITH A GABLED DORMER. THE ENTRYWAY IS ARCHED. THIS AREA OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA WAS ESPECIALLY HARD HIT BY THE DEPRESSION, AND LOCAL RELIEF PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS OFFERED EMPLOYMENT TO LOCALS AT A CRITICAL PERIOD. CONSTRUCTION OF THIS COMPARATIVELY MODERN BUILDING ALSO SPARKED LOCAL INTEREST IN EDUCATION. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER 9/8/1988. |
