This historic image depicted the Quonset huts that were erected on the grounds of the Carville, Louisiana Leprosarium, for the purpose of acting as school houses where children, who'd been victims of leprosy, as well as hospital patients could be taught. The hospital was a self-contained compound with its own power plant, storehouse, patient treatment centers, which included a dental office, food-processing facilities, i.e., a cafeteria, and its own cemetery.
