set up a group email for Ellen, Devonte, Fend and Dunn to introduce the idea.
D.ACTION ITEM: Quonset Hut home 1901 N. Eagle Rd.:
D'Andrea met with Mrs. Janet Stevens, owner of this property, who shared the history of
the home. D'Andrea learned that this house along with three others nearby had been moved
from Gowen Field and they were Barrack Buildings. Mrs. Stevens was unaware of any
previous history associated with her house. All three of these Barrack Buildings have been
remodeled. With only the age of the home meeting the criteria for inclusion in the Historic
