What's in a hut? Locationless, Locationless, Locationless
By LarsThorwald on 10-Oct-02. Waypoint GC99F6

This is a local business in Laramie Wyoming.

Here is the Quanset hut I was taught Basic Rifle Marksmanship on the M-16. I think, Back in JULY 1986

A hut made into a house. Pretty cool place and cheap too.

This double-wide quanset hut houses our current Seabee Mueseum on the Port Hueneme, CA Seabee Base... There is a sign along the front of the building that proclaims this as well. Coords were taken at the base of one of our mascot "statues" near the street entrance to this building.

Pictures have been taken, but will be uploaded as soon as I can get into my work computer (home computer not recognizing the mini disc from the camera, but the work one does)... Thanks for the scavenger hunt through my base!!

[^] A quonset hut transformed into a used car dealer/service facility on Independence Ave. in northeast area of Kansas City, Missouri. This is in an area prone to streetwalkers and other risky activities. A "rent-a-cop" at a nearby Aldi's kept a wary eye on me as I was shooting the attached photo!
Thanks for the Locationless cache!

Quonset Point and the Seabee Museum, Davisville, Rhode Island. http://www.seabeesmuseum.org/about.htm
They have at least six Quonset Huts to be refurbished as part of exhibits.

This one, like many others here at our current posting, is being used to house classrooms for training young Marines and Soldiers. TFTC Rock-6

Another hut on Mare Island. It appears to be used for storage these days...

This is a hut being used as a Auto Repair shop in the Canal Industrial area of San Rafael, CA.

My wife and I were traveling through New Bern, North Carolina on the way back from visiting her folks, and decided to take the business route rather than the bypass. We saw this large quonset hut that apparently used to be a business of some kind but now it appears to be between tenants.

This building is part of a recreational facility/park/playground on Somerville Ave. on the Cambridge and Somerville line in Massachusetts.

This one is located on the street where I live (Quebec City, Canada). Thanks for the cache !

Note : Pics will be added later today.

Found this one on another cachehunt. The place is being used as a museum for old military equipment in Aalborg, Denmark. Couldnt get a better pic, sorry.

Well, I think this hut saw better days in the war years. It looked to be part of a park turned maintenance shed. Oh well.

Found this one on my way to a nearby letterbox cache about a month ago but did not have my camera with me. I returned today to grab this quonset hut that now is utilized as the the maintaince department's offices at Rochester College located in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

Found this when i wasn't looking for it. About 3 miles from my house. Looks like the Lions club usese this hut as a thrift store on the weekends.

These two Quonset huts house two related business. The hut on the left is US Auto Glass Center and the hut on the right is US Auto Body & Paint. These Quonset huts are located 455 and 461 Harbor Blvd. Belmont, California

Used by a local courier service.

Like some others, I found this hut on my way back from the second stage of a multi in Dunellon, FL. From the photos you can see that it is currently Kelly's Auto Repair. TFTC

The best I could tell this quonset hut is just being used as a junk shop.

I found this quonset hut while searching for a nearby multi-cache. I didn't find the multi but didn't leave empty handed either. This hut is used by Protech Equipment Svc Inc as a garage.

At first I thought it was one of the 20'x48' models, but after looking at it through Google Earth, I saw that it has more of a square footprint. Maybe this one was manufactured post-WWII. Thanks!

This is located in S.W. Pennsylvania. It is behind a chain link fence with no trespassing sign all around it. Don't know if it's government or what...

Thanks for the hunt, that makes kill #182 for us.

Quonset hut in southern Delaware County in Indiana. It is on a farm and is used to store farm equipment.

This hut is located just off of 16th Street at the site of the old Monon railroad tracks in Indianapols, Indiana.
The tracks have been replaced by the Monon Rail Trail.
It appears that the hut was used for storage for railroad items and now has fallen into disrepair and seems to be forgotten.
Thanks for the cache.

This quonset building is located at the Ottawa Central Railway's Walkley Yard in Ottawa Ontario. It was built around 1967 and is used to store railway maintenance equipment.

Armando's Upholstery and Interiors
Sacramento, California

I was up in Sacramento today looking at a new project...stumbled across this Quonset hut. I have been wanting to get this cache out of the way before it expires, and I guess one Quonset hut is as good as another!

This one now houses Armando's Upholstery and Interiors.

Found these huts at Bagillt, just West of Flint on North Wales. One is used by Grosvenor Scaffolding whilst the others are Adhoc UPVC Installations

This quonset hut has been a auto repair shop and a auto sales business. Current use is unknown. This hut is located on Maple at Fourth in Beloit, WI.

On our way to visit gardens for another cache, and we just happend to see this building on the side of the road. I guess these designs work well for the snow load in Utah. The owner is Ricks Enterprise Corp, and he does sheet metal painting and silkscreening. West side of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Another neat little cache. These buildings are everywhere around home. These huts are being used for a small local construction shop in Independence, Mo. TFTC

This hut is located on Hwy.309 between Ozark and Paris, Arkansas. Bet I've passed this hut a million times over the years and it is still fascinating to me. It was used for many years as storage for local farmers and still ahs grain silos and equipment in back of it. Now it is just used for personal storage. Not sure how long it's been here, but I do know it's been there more than 30 years.

Thanks for the cache.

This quonset hut is now a house in Poteau, Oklahoma.

While caching in Portland, OR we came across this house.

Found these Quonset Huts while we were in Carson City, NV for the Thanksgiving weekend. Looks like they were used for a truck and auto equipment store at one time but now the area is deserted.

Located in Billings, Mt. Used as a storage area for a local business.

These quonset huts, now empty, in North Bay, Ontario, may not be much longer for this world. The land they're on is set for redevelopment in the near future.

The first is a former furniture store, while the second, one or two hundred feet away, seemed to have been used for storage.

This quonset hut was purchased with the land by the Park City Fire Department in the 1950's, to house a fire engine. Since then the Department has added on to house the fire trucks and now the quonset is used to house the local ambulance service in Park City, Montana.

Found this Quonset hut in Kalispell, Montana. But then again there all over in Kalispell. This one has been converted into a Pawnshop.

A few cachers out, but not caching and what do we see, a few huts! In Vancouver BC.

This was unexpected as Scruffster said, "aren't we looking for those things?" Sure enough, we find three quonset huts in Vancouver, BC, Canada. They have held up very well over the years even in this rainy climate.

This is the second one we found.

My first locationless cache. It was fun to find these huts. This area of Hastings and Commercial Streets were a buzz with industry during WWII. I'm amazed these survived in good shape for so long.

This hut can be found from Suomusjärvi, Finland. It has used to be a garage but nowadays it is a warehouse.

This Hut is now used as part of the house and is located close to my home, In Warburton East in the state of Victoria Australia.

Hutte trouvée à Trois-Rivières. Utilisée comme entrepôt pour location d’outils…
Hut found in Trois-Rivières. Used as tools rental outfit…

I found this Nissan hut in Neerim Junction, Victoria, Australia. This one is now used as a large garage for a truck. When I started work in 1969, I was sent to the telecommunications training school at Ballarat. The training school consisted of around 20 small Nissan huts--they were hot in Summer, and cold in Winter. The other interesting thing about those huts is that they were originally used as the athlete's village for the 1956 Olympic Games--the rowing events were held on Lake Wendouree in Ballarat. Thanks to LarsThorwald for the cache.

As has been said before these are called Nissen Huts in the UK. I found these two at Bridgelands Farm, in West Sussex in the UK. while out taking pictures for

I found several "wanna be huts" but they were just tin look alikes. This is the real thing located in Basin, WY USA. Until a month ago it was the office and supply area for Riverside Enterprises (plumbing). It now belongs to the school district.

This is in Evergreen Colorado. It is being used as a nursery.

Vorticity was the mastermind behind our 100 in one day cache-a-thon. You need several ingredients for snagging 100 in a day --- summer solstice, a better understanding of stream crossings, no flat tires, and no tree caches.
We had a blast though and got 59 for the day. Hey it beats sitting on the couch. If you ain’t living…you’re dieing!

Denver, Colorado. Was an aircraft hangar. Now it's part of a recreation center.

Licking County, Newark, OH
Very near what used to be the Newark Air Force Base. On private property and a road with nowhere to pull off, I had to block the owner's driveway to get the picture. It's surrounded on 3 sides by corn fields. I don't know what it's used for now.

Neanderwolf und die Meute

I found this building located in Buffalo, ND. It appears to be abandoned and it had no markings on the outside wall to state what it was used for in the past. It is located right next to an oil company, so I would imagine it was probably used for storage at one point.

This is the Corner Cafe in Buffalo, ND. It looks like the stuck a small building front onto the hut and made themselves a rather roomy restraunt.

This building is the Corner Stone Baptist Church located in Spring Hope, North Carolina.

I found this hut in Esmond Il. I believe it is used for storage. TFTC

This is two Quonset Huts set side by side and located in Benicia, CA. They were given to Benicia High School right after WWII as war surplus and they were used as a student center nicknamed "The Bent Barn" by the students. You can still see the football scoreboard located on the end of the buildings. The school is now being used as Benicia's City Hall and Police Station. The Quonset Huts have been used as police evidence storage, and are now being used as storage for building maintenance.

Stumbled across this quonset hut today and after asking about it found it served a number of different purposes from storage of equipment to a business location. It now sits abandoned, but may not be empty since it still has a lock on it. TFTC.

Found in Alfred on Ontario. The picture with the GPS is not very good. The hut contain grass.

During the war years, Southern Florida was the site of many training and supply bases supporting our efforts. This Hut was probably relocated from Venice Army Air Base which had many of these simple but effective structures.
It was used most recently as the home for an air conditioning repair business. It is now waiting patiently for the next user.

Thanks for the cache.

Tom and Chickie

This one is located on Highway 17 between Dryden and Thunder Bay Ontario at a camp ground called Maki Bay. We were stopped for road work when I saw it out the window, so I am only guessing that it is being used by the camp ground owners to store the support materials for their enterprise. TFTH OH-MY-GéOSH

These huts are used as storage and also as businesses, located at the DeLand Airport in DeLand, Florida USA

After WWII, Syracuse University, like most US colleges was met by the returning vet with a new wedding ring on his finger and a new GI Bill in his pocket. I remember the many quonset huts that sprouted on Skytop Hill. They were a quick temperary solution to this problem. Today they have long since been replaced by permanent housing.
Where did the old quoset's go???
I remember where I thought I saw some many years ago. Took a quick drive out there & did find one. It looked like it may be a survivor of that long ago time.
It was out to Onondaga Lake Park at the home of the Syracuse University Crew. I imagine it is used for storage for those many shells.

Found this "set" of Quonset Huts while searching another cache today. There are a total of 12 huts in this immediate area that date back to WWII and were part of the Lend-Lease Program with the former USSR.

Ladd Field, now Fort Wainwright, was one of the stops along the way.

Currently these quonset huts appear to be used for miscellaneous storage as weren't really able to get a close up look through the window. I was also unable to get pictures of the actual numbers assigned to each hut as a truck was approaching.

ahoi!
found this military chapel in Ploen/Germany!

e!

Found this hut in Fairview, PA. It is near Top Roc Concrete on Manchester Rd.

This is a Double Ended, Quonset Hut Church or “Churchesâ€, located on the Army Base in Wainwright Alberta, Canada. I don't think I ever seen two churches in one building before. How unique!

Lake Deli Mart
Seattle, Washington

There are still many Quonset huts left in the Seattle area, but I wasn't sure where an unclaimed one might be that wouldn't be too far from my house. I was quite excited when I coincidentally spotted this one today on one of my last locationless cache romps (sigh) through town. I'm sure I'll always notice these historical buildings from now on. Thanks so much for maintaining this interesting locationless cache opportunity for the past three years.

We were out caching in Nebraska today and ran accross this hut in Blue Springs, Nebraska used as the town fire station.
