Summary

The ubiquitious, but seldom noticed, Quonset hut Today a look at a common but oft-overlooked maritime structure - the Quonset hut. First designed and built for the US Navy in 1941, they were styled after a WWI version called the Nissen hut. Once used in military installations during WWII, the Navy sold them surplus to the public after the war, and the rest, as they say, is history. And we'll hear what is probably the quintessential artistic work regarding this unusual style of building: Fisher Poet Jon Campbell's reading of his hilarious poem, "Quonset Hut," in which he refers to the Quonset hut as being a testament to Rhode Island's "indigenous school of meatloaf architecture."
