Circa 1978
The type of granary finally selected was used at Union Grove, Wisconsin. Construction began in September, 1938. By December, the basement or ground floor had been completed, and the concrete had been poured for the first floor slab. At this point construction ceased as Federal funds allotted for the project became exhusted. In May, 1939, when the WPA failed to renew financial assistance for the project, work was resumed by the Wayne County Training School's own Carpentry Department. The Wayne COunty Auditors provided a special appropriation to complete exterior brick work. The building was completed in December, 1939, the last of the pre-1943 structures onthe campus of the former Wayne County Training School campus.
