Lay Ups - Part 2

A really cool old gym in Nixon can be seen from the highway, right beside the football stadium.

The wonderful Ray Gym at Pettus High School is a WPA gym built with Tuleta Rock, a hard caliche mined from the pits around the Pettus area.

The old gym in Premont is still being used almost nightly by the community.

A terrible fire in Pringle leveled the school and the heat melted the steel gym rafters.

The beautifully maintained exterior of the San Augustine gym.

The front entrance to the San Saba gym.

Turner Hall in Schulenburg, built in 1886, may be the oldest Tx gym.

Built in 1929, the old Scranton gym is almost gone.

The Shamrock gym is snug against the right field foul pole of the baseball field.

The home of the Slidell Greyhounds is another beautiful WPA project.

This 3rd building for the Spring Creek school was built in 1938, and is in Skellytown, Texas. 

I love this wooden gym in Techucana. It was built in 1929 with lumber donated from Mexia.

The sad remains of  the Toyah gym, where tons of pigeon droppings have accumulated over decades of neglect.

The auditorium entrance is the front to the Bonham WPA building and the gym entrance is the back.
