John, the residential building followed US Army barracks design, using wood and tar paper, so check records related to army architecture and construction, since they handled the construction of the relocation centers in the seven states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming). There is a joint project with University of Arkansas Little Rock and the Japanese American National Museum called "Life Interrupted: Japanese American Experience in World War II Arkansas" http://www.lifeinterrupted.org, which may have resources for you. Also there is Jeffery Burton et al, Confinement and Ethnicity: An Overview or Japanese American World War II Relocation Sites, put out by the National Park Service. This contains drawings and images, but the plans themselves should be available at the National Archives. Brian D.

I am specifically interested in the construction of the buildings, especially the warehouses. I can find nothing on the Minidoka (Hunt, Idaho) in the National Archives such as blue prints and construction plans. Is there anyone with knowledge of historical warehouses and the structure of these buildings? I could forward you jpg pictures showing the interior/exterior of our specific warehouse if that would help. Thanks in advance.
