Tule Lake Relocation Center

Central Fenced Area
Administration, Hospital Area, Staff Housing, and Motor Pool Areas

Outside the evacuee housing area, most of the relocation center road grid is still in place. The present Newell general store was the staff personnel recreation building. The building, with decorative wood floors and an impressive evacuee-built rock fireplace, is relatively unchanged (Figure 13.31). Another building behind the store dates to the relocation center, but these historic buildings are nearly surrounded by more recent houses. None of the other administration or hospital buildings remain.

No relocation center buildings remains in the staff housing area — the location is now the site of a small housing project and a high school. A Caltrans maintenance facility encompasses the relocation center motor pool, and three relocation center buildings are still in use, along with more modern additions.
