The long, two-story wooden headquarters building at Camp Edwards, Massachusetts, with rows of windows across its front. A 1940s automobile is parked on the right, and a few pine trees stand in front. Camp Edwards was a large Army training camp on Cape Cod, established in the 1930s and heavily used during World War II. The plain wooden headquarters building reflects the camp's utilitarian construction and its role in the daily administration of a wartime training installation.
