Wikepedia History of Quonset Huts
Many fascinating photos of Quonset Huts in use, including a movie theater, truck stop, even a church.
Detailed history of Quonset Huts
Iroquoi Mohawk Building~Long House (similar in shape to a Quonset Hut)
Jackson is interested in the production of affordable housing that is easy to build and good quality. He thinks this would be useful for those living in impoverished countries and by those who survive disasters.
He remembers seeing and hearing about all the RV and trailers being used after the hurricane in Florida, several years ago while visiting Papaw and Nana in Pensacola. He believes he can engineer something even better than many previous temporary housing ideas.
Today he was in the backyard constructing his own Quonset hut.
His next project is a teepee! Jax also likes the round house design, and the design by Frank Lloyd Wright in his Half Circle house. A Yurt is another design type he thought was interesting. We found this site about Eco-Houses that gave him some neat ideas, too:
