Long brick soldiers' quarters face a lawn at Fort Lewis, Washington, with evergreen trees and a road in the foreground. The post began as Camp Lewis during World War I and was renamed Fort Lewis in 1927, becoming a permanent Army installation south of Tacoma. The brick buildings are consistent with the more solid construction that followed the camp's wartime origins.
