The particular subject here is a YMCA hut at Columbus Barracks, a U.S. Army post in Columbus, Ohio. During the First World War, the Young Men's Christian Association built huts like this one on military posts to give enlisted men a place to write letters, read, play games, and gather away from the barracks. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a commercial photo agency active in the 1900s and 1910s. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded and has not been independently verified, so the exact date is uncertain.
