They dated from World War II, and some were used to house German prisoners of war (I didn't know there ever were German POWs in the United States).  Also, the construction methods used then were interesting (note the picture of the ceiling below and the wood imprints in the cement).</div> <bR> <div> (UPDATE:  On August 3, 2002, I received an email regarding my personal opinion of this "exhibit."  To read it and my response, <A HREF="id95.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Email and response">click here</A>.)                                       <A HREF="id64.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Big Bend The Story of Our Trip"><---Back to "Story"</A></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="801" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 315 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="64e81210.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="289" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Aluminum boxes, Building #1</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65081210.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="289" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 295 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65281210.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="289" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65481210.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="289" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 411 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65621810.jpg" border=0 width="289" height="385" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65821810.jpg" border=0 width="289" height="385" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Aluminum boxes, Building #2</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 295 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65a81210.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="289" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65c81210.jpg" border=0 width="385" height="289" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 411 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="65e21810.jpg" border=0 width="289" height="385" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="66021810.jpg" border=0 width="289" height="385" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>At last!
