Maynard Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This photo showed up on Facebook. It is located somewhere in Indiana. It appears to be configured for flat grain storage. Has anybody seen this style of building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeeper61 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Looks to be a variation of a Quonset hut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quonset_hut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Englander Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Nissen huts are similar to Quonset but have an internal frame whereas the Quonset is more of a monocoque structure. I wonder if that triangle structure has a frame? Maybe a one-off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillman Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I can't identify that building but I have seen similar buildings although the pitch was not quite as steep . The " rafters" were laminated wood and a nice piece of craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsaIHCs Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 There used to be 3 ( if I remember correctly) very similar buildings that sat side by side somewhere in Bismarck ND. I was really little when they were there. I think a couple of blocks North of main street toward the east end of town. They were painted aqua or sea foam green and white. They were self serve car washes. They were there in the 70s. After they were gone from there I remember seeing one along I94 east of town on the north side of the highway on a farm being used as a shed.
