Lost Fort Collins was just supposed to be a blog about vanishing historic Fort Collins. Yet, the Quonset huts keep coming up.
If you’re interested in Q-huts, you know they’re ubiquitous. So, what makes one even worth driving to see?
Well, Norm and I have spent a significant amount of time in front of the Northern discussing just that topic. Here’s the answer:
1. It’s got to be old–vintage 1940s or 50s.
2. It’s got to be used for something besides storage. Extra points if someone lives in it.
3. Paint gets you points too.
Of course, these are all just guidelines. LostOregon posted a picture of a Qunoset hut that only met criterion #2, but was nonetheless spectacular.
