Prefabricated building structure

A building structure assembled from prefabricated components, comprising:

• a framework formed from rigidly interconnected horizontal and vertical elongate modular units defining a four-sided wall opening between them, said wall opening being bounded by confronting horizontal and vertical faces of said units, each of said faces being provided with a slot extending over the full length thereof, the slots of said faces lying in a common plane;
• strips seated in said slots and projecting into said wall opening;
• a four-sided wall element occupying said wall opening and resting against said strips;
• and
• retaining means on at least one of said faces for holding said wall element in position adjacent said strips, said retaining means including a first latch member on said wall element and a coacting second latch member on one of said faces slidably engaging in the slot thereof alongside the corresponding strip.

• retaining means on at least one of said faces for holding said wall element in position adjacent said strips;
• said vertical modular units being prismatic columns of substantially uniform wall thickness having inbent wall portions defining the slots thereof;
• at least one of said horizontal modular units being a pair of spacedly juxtaposed beams having confronting faces in line with said inbent wall portions.
