Notes
  • Significance: Pacific Huts were erected extensively on Alaskan military bases during the peak years of wartime construction (1942-43). Used by both the army and the navy, they proved to be ideal as they were lightweight, easily assembled, and impervious to wind and water. / Built in 1942, this Pacific Hut typified those used by both Army and Navy at Dutch Harbor. Modeled after the Quonset Hut, the Pacific Hut was made of prefabricated laminated wood sections, using forest products instead of critical materials such as steel. The Pacific Hut saw extensive use on Alaskan military bases during the peak years of wartime construction (1942-1943) and proved ideal for use in the Aleutians, being lightweight, easily assembled, and impervious to wind and water. The Corps of Engineers razed the huts in 1985 in accordance with the Defense Environmental Restoration Program.
