That Treasure House - what an interesting building. It looks like it was once entirely a Quonset hut, but it got remodeled. Cool. Have you seen others like that?
Paul: No I think that's the only one of those I've ever seen that had been lopped off like that. I've seen lots Quonset huts here there, but never a "remodeled one. I thought it so strange that not only was the building odd shaped, it had a weird Native American standing on the marquee, and the sign itself tells us it has "Oddities." How odd is that?
These are great I really love looking for buildings with old signs, I swear that some of the old roadside stands I see are only standing because of the signs holding them up.
I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA.
I shoot these cameras and formats:
----Note: --
I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.

Don
It's almost certainly an old movie theater.
That being said I would have loved to go in and see what they had for sale.
