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.
