North Casper Clubhouse
Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
As noted above, the clubhouse was built during the Great Depression with funding from a federal organization called the National Youth Administration (NYA), which was part of the Works Progress Administration (one of several federal agencies established to provide work to Americans). The NYA provided job opportunities to young people who found it hard to get jobs during the period. Therefore in addition to its unique construction, the clubhouse is also significant for representing "New Deal" federal programs that helped Americans persevere in the midst of the Great Depression. The clubhouse was and remains an important community center for the community.
