Missile Silo - East/West Quonset Hut
This property is rare in that both quonset huts
are still on site. These are 40' x 100' buildings that were
used for above ground offices and site support equipment. The two
quonset huts at this base were
built 90 degrees to each other. One along a North/South axis and the
other along an East/West axis.
The East/West quonset hut shown in the photos below was recently renovated
to repair damage that
had occurred over the years since the site was deactivated. It is
now used as a storage and parking area.
A 100 amp power panel is in place and three plug-in circuits as well as
basic lighting has been added.
Where possible, the trees have been trimmed and left in place in order to
reduce the heat buildup inside
the building during the summer. There have been vents added along
the bottom to allow for air flow.
A standard 36" walk thru door is installed in the right side of the main
rolling door.
Both quonset huts
are scheduled to be painted white in the Spring of 2009.
