Richard R. Green Middle School (Junior High School 113). In the 1930s this was Olinville Junior High School. It was constructed during the 1930s with Public Works Administration funds[1]. The school contains a pair of large New Deal paintings: Industry and Farming by Edna Hershman (see next page). I'll see if I can get access to photograph them.
