More Info →Proposed Layout - Transit Housing Area, Hokowhitu

Description

Proposed layout for part of the Transit Camp in Hokowhitu, on what became the site of the Palmerston North Teachers College and later Massey University Hokowhitu campus. After WWII there was a shortage of housing in New Zealand, and this camp provided temporary accommodation for families in need. Bathrooms were not a feature of the units and ablution blocks were supplied for use. The aptly named "H" unit was the most common plan used for the housing. The camp ran from about 1946 to 1960.
