[MassHistPres] Quonset huts

[Steinitz, Michael @ SEC]

We have and continue to encourage local historical commissions to
identify and document this category of historic resource on inventory
forms in their comprehensive communitywide surveys of historic
resources.  A search on MHC's MACRIS database on our website on "All
Towns" and the word "Quonset" in Historic Name gives the following 17 on
file with us.  Can't confirm that these are all still extant.

That's 5 existing huts so far, plus one possible (the Worcester/Auburn
one).

Are the more?
