CPO Bungalow
on Belleau Woods
This is one of the remaining one-story houses built in the 1930s on Belleau Woods Loop for married Chief Petty Officers (CPOs). These houses were physically separate from the Nob Hill homes.
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the CPO bungalows sat in the center of the massive machinery used to upright the USS Oklahoma. Crews work 24 hours a day. Meanwhile, salvage work on the other sunken ships nearby also insured a very noisy neighborhood throughout the war.
