Jack Akin, left, gives a tour of his mother-in-law's home to Richard Symmes, Beverly historian and co-founder of the Walker Transportation Collection. The home is an original Quonset Hut, which were built during and after World War II for housing, storage, etc. This hut was from a Quonset Hut Village off of Cabot Street. Akin is selling the property in Hamilton and Symmes is trying to find a way to save and perserve the hut. Photo by Deborah Parker/November 6, 2009
