Los Alamos Quanset Hut

If you were not a top scientist with the Manhattan Project, chances are that you lived in a trailer, a quanset hut, or makeshift building. Also, because of the war, nothing could be constructed using iron. This meant only showers, no bathtubs for anyone living in these places. The only ones with tubs were the top scientists who lived in the beautiful log homes that were originally part of the Los Alamos Ranch School for boys. These high staus homes were all along 20th street close to the Fuller Lodge. The street quickly became known as "Bathtub Row," and recently the name of the street officially became "Bathtub Row."
