Overstreet Hall – Southern Arkansas University
Columbia County
The WPA put $187,000 into this three-story Colonial Revival building at what was then Magnolia A&M College, built between 1941 and 1943. It held classrooms and labs for chemistry, physics, biology and dairy science. The same campus has the NYA's Greek Theater and two PWA buildings, Cross Hall and Nelson Hall.
