Here's an old Clemson pic and a question for you old timers

This dates back to the days when the baseball field was located where the Tennis facility is today.
However, what is the series of white buildings in front of Fike where Lot 1/old intramural field is today?

A buddy from that era thinks it may have been Barracks 9.

Norris was Barracks 8 back then, and he seems to remember them building a #9 barracks. He's not SURE by any means.

Looks like some Post-WW2 crappy buildings like Johnstone?

meant to be temporary? Probably why they aren't there anymore. Any date on the photo?

Sometime in the 1950's would be my guess.***

Ask JOE21 since he came up to Clemson from Fl about then.

But maybe it’s not a good idea or he’ll write a essay about it which will take away from his needed time for his upcoming memoirs..
probably titled “1 Rusty Jeep for 2 Wars”.

Looks like they had their own power houses or boilers at least judging by the stacks on the mechanical buildings.

There was no wall there - just thick hedges against

a wire fence along the street. I remember getting a dozen baseballs by reaching through the wire from the outside - the hedge was so thick that players had a hard time finding balls hit there during practice.

It’s where a group of secret scientists developed the Dabo gene, which was stolen and taken to Alabama. Thank God it made its way back.

...Today’s photos are from 1948 and show two different views of buildings that no longer exist at Clemson University.
The above picture is an aerial photo of Clemson and you can clearly see the white barracks sitting in a V where Lot 1 is now located. These were temporary barracks, constructed by the military during WWII. They were torn down just prior to the completion of Johnstone Hall in 1954.
The below photo is a close up view of the temporary barracks and was taken with your back to Death Valley, on the southwest corner of what is now Lot 1.
Barracks life made for a long day. Reveille was at dawn, and breakfast was as early as 6 a.m. In fact, in Clemson's early years, class was often finished in the morning hours, so that drill could be held in the afternoons. Lunch and dinner were served, and curfew was in effect so that the night started early and all cadets were accounted for.
There was always an incessant wave of cadets at any given time on detail, and Clemson cadet parades from this period were spectacular in both their professionalism and their school spirit.
