When I was stationed at Naval Air Technical Training Center, Memphis (actually in Millington), TN, I stayed in that style barracks for several months. They were not limited to just the Army; the Navy had them, too. Even then, I thought about trying to build a model of one (they actually were built in several lengths according to manpower requirements) but other things came to the fore at the time. Some years later, when as a civilian, I worked at a local Army post for the Post Engineer in the drafting section, I had access to the post blueprint files, located the plans for that style barracks, ran off a set of Ozalid (phew, the ammonia fumes!) reproducibles, but never followed up and have since lost the drawings.
