One bedroom barracks floor plan Item Info

Even by immediate post-World War Two housing standards, living spaces in Pammel Court were considered small. The Quonset Huts, due to the curvature of the exterior wall, felt even smaller than the floor plan conveys in its two-dimensional format. Almost concurrent to their placement in Pammel Court, residents began modifying the units to add additional living space. The most common addition was a small enclosed porch that served to shelter the interior space from a rush of cold air in the winter.
