Grand Canyon National Park Community Building (2014) 8261. The Public Works Administration (PWA) funded the construction of the Community Building, while CCC and National Park Service provided the labor. Begun in 1934 and completed in 1935,it replaced a structure in another location that had burned the year before. Over the years the Community Building has housed a public library, hosted plays and community meetings, and, for fifty years, offered movies. The carbon-arc projectors still reside in the upstairs loft, but are not available for inspection. The second floor was the Masonic lodge meeting room, and also served as a day care center and classrooms. In 1996 the building underwent a substantial rehabilitation. The Community Building currently is used for community cultural, educational, and informational events, as well as housing offices. Although the Community Building is open to the public, please be considerate of those working and learning and limit any inside visits to the first floor.
