Description
Title
Construction
of
barracks
-
2
Photographer
Unknown
Date created
circa 1942-1945
Description
Note
that this
description
refers
to
am1_0001
and
am1_0002
: These
photographs
show
the
construction
of
barracks
and
buildings
at
Amache
with
prefabricated
sides
.
Windows
fit
so
badly
that
fine
sand
or
snow
would
accumulate
in
small
piles
inside
the
room
during
windstorms
or
snowstorms
. There was little
insulation
so
rooms
were
uncomfortable
in the
hot
summers
and
cold
winters
. The
barracks
had no
water
; consequently, no
kitchens
or
bathrooms
. Each
barrack
was
120
feet
long
and
20
feet
wide
. A
barrack
was
divided
into
six
sections
or
rooms
. Each
room
was
expected
to
house
four
to
six
persons
. In some
situations
unrelated
evacuees
were
assigned
to
share
a
room
. For
example
,
two
couples
without
children
or a
group
of
single
males
.
Recently
married
couples
were particularly
embarrassed
by the
lack
of
privacy
under such
conditions
.
