Mod New Orleans School Needs Help
I admit, New Orleans is a long way from Oklahoma. But this story struck me as important enough to share.
This 1954 school building is endangered and could easily become the latest victim of Hurricane Katrina. The Phyllis Wheatley School featured an elevated design that provided a shaded recreation area under the building, not to mention protection from rising water. Today the building is looking pretty sad- but there is hope.
