Cape Canaveral Space Force Station – 3D Historic Launch Complexes
Quonset Hut - Museum and Paint Storage
Abstract
Facility 41303 is a metal Quonset hut that was built in 1960 to serve as office space and a shop during the human crewed Project Mercury missions, the United States’ first man-in-space program. Throughout its tenure, the structure served as office, shop, and storage, most recently for the Space Force Museum’s collection of items from the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. Adjacent to the Quonset hut is a small, steel plated storage structure identified as a Paint and Oil Locker, Facility 41307. This building dates to 1995 and is not historic.
