Fort McCoy, Building No. T-2122, South Side of South Seventh Avenue, halfway Between South "H" & South "J" Streets, Sparta, Monroe County, WI

Significance: Building T-21222 is an example of a nearly intact SH-18, Standard Storehouse, as modified by the Camp McCoy Area Engineer. There were nine such buildings constructed at Fort McCoy, all of which have been modified in one way or another. Building T-2122 appears to have the least modified plan of this building type. The construction of Building T-2122 was part of a massive, nation-wide mobilization program designed to build cantonments in which to house and train the expanded World War II Army. The 800 Series, and the 700 Series that preceded it, was a comprehensive set of drawings which could be used interchangeably in creating the various building types. War mobilization buildings are significant for their construction and technological innovation. Techniques such as the standardization of plans, prefabrication of units, and assembly-line approach to construction were largely pioneered in the construction of these mobilization structures.
