Sports Arena - Large enough for three basketball games at the same time.

Only known photos of one of the three Camp Atterbury Incinerators

Don't know if this is a special Observation Tower near the Physical Training Courses, or one of the three Fire Towers (webmaster note)

In front of Band Barracks.  "The Wedding".  Sgt Smith with gun, Pfc Pedieine with those beautiful locks and Pvt Joe Block is the bridegroom.  "Rev" is Sgt Marion Gilfay
