Description

A bunkhouse is a communal, barracks-like building historically used to house working cowboys, loggers, and miners in 19th- and early 20th-century North America. These structures featured large open rooms with rows of narrow cots, wood-stove heating, and separate cookhouses or outhouses, providing minimal privacy.
