Albuquerque NM 18 June 2018: The Barelas Community Center, 801 Barelas Road SW. Built in 1941-42 in Pueblo Revival style, for the National Youth Administration, by youth receiving on-the-job training, 1940-42. Dedicated June 13, 1942[1]. Today the Center has a gymnasium, weight room, ceramics room and computer lab. Its center for youth also offers a summer camp with music, arts, history, computer, exercise classes, and more[2]. It houses murals of the Zuni Deer Dance in its Indian Room, but they date from the 1950s or 60s[3]. It opened with NYA-built furniture and fixtues[1] but we weren't able to go inside to see what's there now.

The National Youth Administration is in charge. The City of Albuquerque furnished the site. The League of United Latin American Citizens has taken the lead in raising the necessary funds, assisted by Circulo Cultural Mexicano, Alianza Hispano Americana, and Otero-García Post of the Legion. NYA youth employees are doing the construction." That's a short quote from a much longer article.
