This may well be a surplus WWII Quonset hut. There were a lot of them sold after the war. πŸ“· Pentax K1000 πŸ”˜ Pentax M 28mm f/2.0 🎞️ Kodak Portra 400 #photography #streetphotography #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #35mm #film #urbex #urbanexplorer #Quonsethut #Quonset #graffiti #Pentax #Kodak

In drier climates, even some WWII quonsets have survived. There are 3 U.S. military quonsets sold as surplus to Canada after the war that were used as theatres; one of those, in the Crowsnest Pass, is being refitted for use again (it closed 20 years ago).

#Quonsets are still commonly seen on the Canadian prairies. They make good, cheap equipment barns, so there are still new ones going up on farms and for storage of municipal road/construction equipment and that sort of thing.

Work underway in Alberta town to restore one of last remaining Quonset-style theatres | CBC News

The historic Roxy Theatre in the Crowsnest Pass hasn't been open for 20 years, but there is hope the theatre in downtown Coleman, Alta., built in 1948 can be restored to its original glory.
