Description

"Victory Huts" were prefabricated buildings developed during World War II as a method of providing quick housing for soldiers. The white "Victory Huts" behind the Parkland Nurses' Home are believed to have been used first as housing for recovering servicemen during World War II, then after the war as housing for nursing students.
