There's something fun about spotting bits of history like Quonset Huts in the less traveled streets of Monrovia.

According to Wikipedia, "Between 150,000-170,000 Quonset huts were manufactured during WWII. After the war, the U.S. military sold the surplus Quonset huts to the public for $1,000 each." More on Quonset Huts here.
