Overhead View shows what's left of the camp in the satellite view. Within the semi-cleared area, the four small white squares a row are the four remaining buildings from the old POW camp. Two are block construction, while two are wood. They appear to be about nine feet on each side. There used to be many more, but most were removed to build the large warehouse. At the National Archives in College Park, there is a blueprint labeled Standard Camp Plan built utilizing what they called "hutments", a collection of buildings nine feet on each side. Despite the name, this plan was not used all of the time. Barrack-sized buildings were often a better fit in most locations.
I've recently heard from the family which owns the land, and I'm told there were no cabins there while the camp was actively housing POWs. A newspaper acticle would help confirm this as a tent/seasonal camp. I can document the camp, but not the buildings.
