Works Administration. The Community House is located within the Oak Grove City Park, which was
part of the overall Civil Works Administration project that funded the construction of the park and the
Community House. The building has a cross gable roof of asphalt shingles, a large brick chimney on
the eastern side, a T-shaped floor plan, original six-over-six wood windows, shingles applied in the
gables as well as just below the porch, exposed rafter rails, and original five-panel wooden doors.
The interior features an exposed wooden ceiling structure, wood floors, log and horizontal plank walls
(all stained), and the original brick fireplace on the eastern wall. Very few changes have been made
since the building was constructed in 1933-34 and for these reasons, the Oak Grove Community
House remains eligible for listing on the National Register.
