Barracks

Barracks
From the Japanese-American internment camp of WWII, Tulelake, California. This barrack building and the guard tower were moved to the Tulelake Museum to preserve them. There were actually two separate camps, one near the town of Tulelake and one at Newell, a few miles south. The Newell site, where this barracks was, became the largest Japanese-American internment camp in the USA. These barracks were simple wood framing with tar paper covers, uninsulated against the freezing winters and very hot summers of this region. Read about the camp here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulelake_camp
