The exact inventor or designer isn’t known, but the design is based on the Nissen Hut design that originated from World War I.?
In World War II, the U.S. Navy needed buildings that could be quickly assembled and disassembled but could withstand the rigors of the military and the Quonset hut was created. In essence, the Quonset hut wasn’t necessarily invented but was a vast improvement of the Nissen Hut.?
