The Steel Skeleton of the PA Liquor Control Building (c1940)

Though work on the LCB building continued, Dauphin County lost 31 projects when the PA State Headquarters of the Public Works Administration closed in September, 1939. Since PWA work started in 1933, more than $302 million had been spent on public works in Pennsylvania despite the rejection of half of all proposed projects. An average of 21,000 men were employed by PWA funds every day.
