Over on my website, www.vonverity.com, I put together a little story about a unique solution to a housing problem. In the 1940s, higher-ups at Colorado A&M (the future Colorado State University) and local leaders in the surrounding city of Fort Collins, Colorado decided to construct a community of Quonset Huts to house returning soldiers. What was meant to be a temporary solution resulted in longstanding marks on the local landscape: several of these semicircular buildings are still being used today.
