Quonset huts by Woolco

  Quonset huts by Woolco
College & Curry Road
Tempe, Arizona

When I was in college I lived in two sets of Quonset huts. Both were in Tempe. The first ones were over by Minder Binders near Perry Lane and First Street on the Salt River. The second ones were by Woolco on College and Curry Road.

These quonset huts were torn down and they build either apartments or condos.

I lived here during my last semester at ASU, maybe one semester before that.

This is the quonset hut I got food poisoning in and laid on the floor for a day or two puking on myself because I was so sick. I don't think I came to work for a week and my boss was worried about me.

I also had a job as a computer programmer working at ASU when I lived here.

At this hut I covered the walls with pictures of nude woman from Playboy Magazine. I may have stacked all my beer cans along a wall to - but I don't remember.

This is the location I lived at

This is a quonset hut if you have never seen one. They are the half round buildings that the military loves to build. They come in all different sizes. The quonset huts we lived in had windows on the sides. They were one or two bedrooms in the back with a kitchen and bath room in the front. Ours also had porches. The one in the picture doesn't have a porch or windows on the sides. We rented them for something like $80 or $100 a month.
