I *think* the North Fort wooden WWII barracks are gone, now.

They were extant in 1990 or thereabouts however, because I attended NCO school there, and lived in them. They were in reasonable condition considering their age and “temporary” 5 year status when built.

White rocks everywhere, and those white stripes a few feet up on the doug firs, which I never quite got the purpose for that.

There are still WWI barracks on North Fort Lewis. They house Reserve units going through mobilization and ROTC Cadets during the summer.

The barracks I lived in as an ROTC cadet in 1985 is still standing, and still in use. Not bad for a “five year” building.

Regards,
