- Description:
- One of 50 Quonset Huts erected in Pammel Court in the late 1940s, the construction of this hut illustrates the impermanent quality of the units, as corrugated metal is being applied to a steel frame. After Iowa State College exhausted its search for trailers and demonstrable houses, the school turned to Navy surplus for the Quonset Huts. Each hut housed two families and contained two bedrooms.
