Notes
  • Significance: Based on field observations and analysis of existing construction drawings, this structure is a relatively unaltered example of a Unit Guard House, Type UGH-36. It is located in the 2600 Block of the main cantonment and was one of six buildings of this type to be constructed at Camp McCoy, as it was known during World War II. The construction of Building T-2671 was part of a massive, nation-wide mobilization program designed to build cantonments in which to house and train the expanded World War II Army. The 800 Series, and the 700 Series that preceded it, was a comprehensive set of drawings which could be used interchangeably in creating the various building types. War mobilization buildings are significant for their construction and technological innovation. Techniques such as the standardization of plans, prefabrication of units, and assembly-line approach to construction were largely pioneered in the construction of these mobilization structures.
