Tired of winter? This photo is captivating. Did you take it? If yes, is the building on a military installation? R

Winter has been long here in Minnesota. I actually took this in a light industrial area just south of East Lake Street in Minneapolis, behind a brewery. It reminded me of the quonset huts I grew up around: I went to elementary school in a couple of these on U.S. bases in West Germany, "temporary" structures thrown up in the '50s that were still around in the '70s and '80s. I would guess this building dates from about the same time period.
