[FR] Menuiserie installée dans un bâtiment de type "Quonset Hut" situé à Pouzay.
Une hutte Quonset est une structure préfabriquée légère en acier galvanisé ondulé ayant une section transversale semi-circulaire. La conception a été développée aux États-Unis, basée sur la hutte de Nissen introduite par les Britanniques pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Des centaines de milliers ont été produites pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et le surplus militaire a été vendu au public. Le nom vient du site de leur première fabrication à Quonset Point, au Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Centre à Davisville, Rhode Island.
