B & W digital scan of LA Aqueduct Construction Camp, located along the alluvial fans of the Southern Sierra. Laborers Quarters, tent cabins and Mess House prominent in image. Tent Cabins were the major component of Housing on the Aqueduct Project. "Many of the Aqueduct buildings, such as offices, dwellings and bunk houses, were designed so that they could be taken down in sections, loaded on wagons and expeditiously erected again at some other point."
