Notes
  • Significance: Building T-1129 is of considerable historical and architectural significance locally and regionally as an unaltered example of a 74-Man barrack in the 800 Series of standard construction designs used by the War Department for temporary buildings during World War II. Out of the 461 74-Man barracks erected at Camp McCoy in 1942, Building T-1129 has survived with the least changes. It therefore provides an excellent illustration of the original design, construction, materials, and finishes used in such barracks. In addition, because some of the drawings used for the barracks were also used for other standard buildings, some features in T-1129 exemplify the 1942 appearance found initially in other building types at the post. In historical terms, the unfinished interior of Building T-1129 provides a vivid sense of life led by enlisted soldiers in the mobilization training camps of the U.S. Army during World War II.
