Williams School in Cameron, Oklahoma was a Works Progress Administration project that was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
It was deemed significant for its character (in architecture), for its construction having provided jobs for destitute laborers "close to the edge of starvation", for providing a better learning environment, and for helping "to instill a sense of pride within the community."[2]
It is a one-story hipped-roof 401 feet (122 m) by 72 feet (22 m) building with native sandstone walls.[2]
Its design is from an Oklahoma State Department of Education pattern book.[2]
