    Quonset buildings that I remember
  

*by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2012*

As a kid I remember, with a certain bit of romance, seeing quonset buildings scattered here and there about southern California. They appeared to have existed there forever, to a kid, and they seemed to resonate with a rough and ready sort of workshop essence that said, "Give me your best shot, you can't hurt me." I like that.This book has a lot of Alaskan examples, some modified WWII buildings that serve as homes. There are a few (precious few) examples of the use of this particular room configuration in buildings that . . . well, that seem to have been created by architects to best display the unique bent-frame construction as picturesque residences. Some architects are disdainful of this particular technology. Too bad. Just looking at the hoop buildings makes me want to utilize such a self-supporting structure for a workshop, home or . . .This is not a technical manual, more of a history of a type, but if you look closely, you will be able to pick up on some of the technical details that make these buildings unique. The arch-framed quonsets are more interesting to me than the self-supporting-skin buildings that are becoming more common today . . . but whatever helps people get into their own homes, garages and shops is what is important . . . whatever the technology.Perhaps a partially glazed or plastic-covered, quonset orangery to fight the winter-time blues?

    quonset hut history
  

*by S***P on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2010*

Love this book.  The history of the hut from beginning to today is amazing.  Americana at its best.  The reason I gave it four stars is that there was very little on today's living in a quonset hut or how to find out about living in a quonset hut.  The ads in the book from yesteryear on developing q-hut living is very modern for its day.  I wish I had more information on how to build a true home out of q-huts.  I have talked to many steel companies about this but they say the only sell the materials and the rest is up to me.  Outside of that lack of information the book is fantastic, especially if you like history. If you buy it you will not be disappointed.  If you like to have interesting coffee table material for your guests to read, then this is a must.  This is an almost forgotten piece of every American's history.  It would make a great gift for anyone.  I received it on time and in great condition at a great price.  I use Amazon almost exclusively for purchases and have never been disappointed.

    Great book ... but cheaper elsewhere!
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021*

I really enjoyed this book. There are lots of old WW2-era quonset huts around Nome, so it was interesting to learn more about the history and use of these structures. Also, I grew up on an Iowa farm and we had a building of this style as a machine shop. The only negative about the book is that the type size is quite small. Really needed the reading glasses!I (foolishly) paid $73 for a used copy of this book on Amazon so was shocked to find multiple NEW copies for sale at about $22 at the Anchorage Museum during a recent visit there. Buy this book—but buy it NEW from the Anchorage Museum!
