Connecticut Farms Elementary School (1941)

They are not identical but you would be forgiven for thinking that Union Township used the same
blueprints with minor revisions for their municipal building and Connecticut Farms Elementary School. You might be right. To save money. NYC built five essentially identical high schools during the depression using the same plans due to fiscal austerity (I've thought about connecting them on one hike but they are too far apart).
Connecticut Farms Elementary School was built in 1941, which is sort of depression-era, and I would guess the municipal building around the same time (although I did not turn up a date upon very cursory googleing). Both in the Georgian Revival style so popular at the time.

The buildings aren't next to each other but within an easy walk and are worthy dots to connect in a Union Township perambulation, along with other stuff including some Revolutionary War sites and concrete houses associated with Thomas Edison. Plus what has been purported to be the tallest spherical water tower in the world!
