Quonset hut A basic primer
Quonset huts became so popular with military personnel that many of them bought the surplus huts after the war for their personal housing; universities also purchased them for student housing. Quonset huts can still be seen in use around the world today. The Seabee Museum and Memorial Park in Davisville, Rhode Island contains a display of Quonset huts. This display honors the historic relationship between the Seabees and Quonset huts that has endured since World War II. Today, of course, Quonset huts are used for more civilian purposes.
