The quonset hut pictured above may resemble an Aleutian outpost, but it's home to Mr. and Mrs. George Bunnell of 1881 N. Dixboro Rd. The metal walls keep out the winter wind, and a dressed-up interior makes comfortable living for the couple. They believe their quonset home is the only one of its kind in the county.
