Minot State Barracks
For
many years the married student housing at Minot State was referred to as “The
Barracks”. My understanding is that these were a couple rows of temporary
housing units built about WWII era to house families of Navy Pilots stationed
in Minot for flight training and schooling. I had a fiend who lived in these
back in the early 1970’s. They were certainly not much to write home about but
they did manage to keep out the elements.
