No guard tower remains were relocated, probably because of the extensive
disturbance caused by agriculture. However, in the warehouse area there
are portions of the original perimeter fence (Figure 6.31). These
remnants are of more substantial construction then those evident in any
other relocation center except Tule Lake, and contrast with the typical
5-strand barbed wire depicted in early fence photographs. The warehouse
fence may have been upgraded sometime during the relocation center
occupation: the hospital and administration areas were the scene of some
of the work stoppages and protests revolving around unfair working
conditions and discrimination (Larson et al. 1995:6), and the warehouse
area may have been seen as a potential target of protest activity.
