Location: Early in 1946, a group of five barracks was built behind Smith (Middle Hall); a few months later, three more appeared in "Siberia," the area now occupied by Kemper and the adjacent parking lot.

Date of Construction: 1946.

Capacity: World War II veterans were housed three or four together (in rooms designed for two).

Use: Temporary barracks for veterans. Pre-fabricated huts, 100 feet by 20 feet, provided by the government as emergency, low-cost housing for veterans. After two years, rental fees went to the College.

Razed or Sold: As soon as possible, the barracks were abandoned, and were eventually dismantled in the 1950s.
