Metal garage, and more
Built during the trying times of World War I, Quonset huts are basically prefabricated metal housing made of galvanized steel. Quonset huts served as temporary shelters not only for the American military itself but were also adapted to house the postwar population explosion. When World War II ended Quonset huts stayed and were even tailor made by a handful of construction units, and several adaptations to the initial outlay say the light of day in addition to the conventional arched structure. Despite the tragic times of its conception, the Quonset hut has emerged as an astonishing icon of the American architectural industry. Originally influenced by the Nissen hut design of the British, Quonset huts have thus been transformed and adapted into functional units that offer great flexibility in interior design.
