Quonset Church

Three Quonset hut churches are immediately accessible on the Alcan Hwy. The U.S. military brought the huts to accommodate workers/soldiers during the highway’s construction. The name
“Quonset” comes from the hut’s initial location of manufacture – the naval construction yard at “Quonset Point” in Davisville, Rhode Island.



Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Beaver Creek, Yukon, demonstrates how the Quonset huts found new life after the completion of the Alcan Highway.
