==Legacy== "The agencies of the [[Franklin D. Roosevelt administration]] had an enormous and largely unrecognized role in defining the public space we now use", wrote sociologist Robert D. Leighninger. "In a short period of ten years, the [[Public Works Administration]], the Works Progress Administration, and the [[Civilian Conservation Corps]] built facilities in practically every community in the country. Most are still providing service half a century later. It is time we recognized this legacy and attempted to comprehend its relationship to our contemporary situation."<ref name="Leighninger Cultural Infrastructure"/>{{Rp|226}} <gallery mode="packed" heights="140px"> File:COMPANY E OF THE 167TH INFANTRY OF THE ALABAMA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY; MARSHALL COUNTY,.jpg|[[Company E of the 167th Infantry of the Alabama National Guard Armory|Alabama National Guard Armory]], [[Guntersville, Alabama]] (1936) File:Prairie County Courthouse, De Valls Bluff, AR 001.jpg|Prairie County Courthouse, [[DeValls Bluff, Arkansas]] (1939) File:Griffith observatory 2006.jpg|[[Griffith Observatory]], [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] (1933) File:Santa Ana City Hall.jpg|Santa Ana City Hall, [[Santa Ana, California]] (1935) File:08-06-18LeonHighSchl1.JPG|[[Leon High School]], [[Tallahassee, Florida]] (1936β37) File:St Aug Govt House Museum01.jpg|[[Government House (St. Augustine)|Government House]], [[St. Augustine, Florida]] (1937) File:Fort Hawkins Macon, Georgia.jpg|[[Fort Benjamin Hawkins|Fort Hawkins]], [[Macon, Georgia]] (1936β1938) File:Boise High School Gymnasium.jpg|[[Boise High School]] Gymnasium, [[Boise, Idaho]] (1936) File:Midway Airport Airfield.jpg|[[Midway International Airport]], [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]] (1935β1939) File:Bandshell in Gregg Park.jpg|Gregg Park Bandshell, [[Vincennes, Indiana]] (1939) File:WPA canoe house iowa.jpg|Canoe house, [[University of Iowa]] (1937) File:Jenkins culvert (Gove Co) from NE 1.JPG|Jenkins Culvert, [[Gove County, Kansas]] (1938) File:Louisville Fire Department Headquarters.jpg|[[Historic Firehouses of Louisville|Louisville Fire Department Headquarters]], [[Louisville, Kentucky]] (1936) File:BywaterAlvarNOPL2.jpg|Alvar Street Branch, [[New Orleans Public Library]] (1940) File:WPA Field House.jpg|[[WPA Field House and Pump Station]], [[Scituate, Massachusetts]] (1938) File:Detroit Naval Armory.jpg|[[Detroit Naval Armory]], [[Detroit]], [[Michigan]] (1936β1939) File:Brandon Auditorium & Fire Hall.jpg|[[Brandon Auditorium and Fire Hall]], [[Brandon, Minnesota]] (1936) File:Milaca City Hall 2.jpg|[[Milaca Municipal Hall]], [[Milaca, Minnesota]] (1936) File:Upland, Nebraska Prairie Ave 5 auditorium.JPG|Upland Auditorium, [[Upland, Nebraska]] (1936) File:Jackie Robinson Play Center entrance.jpg|Jackie Robinson Play Center, [[Harlem]], [[New York (state)|New York]] (1936) File:LaGuardia Airport.JPG|[[LaGuardia Airport]], [[Queens]], New York (1937β1939) File:Rhinebeck, NY, post office.jpg|[[United States Post Office (Rhinebeck, New York)|U.S. Post Office]], [[Rhinebeck (village), New York|Rhinebeck, New York]] (1940) File:Robeson County Ag Bldg from SE 2.JPG|[[Robeson County Agricultural Building]], [[Lumberton, North Carolina]] (1937) File:Emmons County Courthouse 2009.jpg|[[Emmons County Courthouse]], [[Linton, North Dakota]] (1934) File:Rubber Bowl - Akron Ohio.jpg|[[Rubber Bowl]] Stadium, [[Akron, Ohio]] (1940) File:Timberline-Lodge-Interior-13025.jpg|[[Timberline Lodge]], [[Mt.
