Summary

The Plainview Band Shell complex is located near the northwest corner of a city park in Plainview. Constructed between 1939 and 1942 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the concrete band shell, fountain, benches, and light posts are excellent examples of the Moderne architectural style used for public buildings and structures constructed by the WPA and other New Deal public works programs.
