| Notes | Caption included with image: Two Marcus residents, sitting in the window of the old Marcus School, watching the night burning of a group of old Marcus homes and outbuildings as a part of the clearing operations carried on by the WPA in the Grand Coulee reservoir.

The old Marcus school house, already partly demolished by a salvage company will be leveled by WPA crews, clearing the old Marcus townsite.
