Summary
Significance: Camp Edwards is significant as one of the first camps built (or in this case built-up) as part of the mobilization construction program of the Army a massive national building program designed to provide housing and training areas for troops in preparation for US involvement in WWII. Much of the methodology for both the construction and administration of the mobilization effort was developed at Camp Edwards. The wood frame temporary buildings constructed here in 1940-41 provided the testing grounds for the 700-series, formula drawings which were adopted for temporary construction nationwide.
