Waynesburg College, the small Methodist-affiliated liberal arts school in the Greene County seat of Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, is the subject here, and it sits among the dozens of Pennsylvania town views that the Works Progress Administration produced in the 1930s. The WPA's Federal Art Project and related programs employed artists to document communities across the state, often in a style that blended careful architectural detail with the modest, everyday character of local life. Such images were valued then as civic records and remain useful today for seeing how a small college campus and its surrounding town looked during the Depression years.
