Each room was 10 'x 10', access to which was won by a long porch that ran the entire length of the building and was also communal. The rooms were unique to the S-yard of the government. These were to be found only in the block between First and Second streets. These units were clustered in groups of three with a courtyard for communal and social activities. Each block was composed of two floors of two rooms posted horizontally, each with its own kitchen and sharing the toilet facilities.
