Freindly Valley Tavern quonset hut

It is a Quonset Hut structure, with a large backyard featuring volleyball nets and picnic tables.

WIKIPEDIA: A Quonset hut is a lightweight prefabricated structure of corrugated galvanized steel having a semicircular cross-section. The design was based on the Nissen hut developed by the British during World War I. The name comes from their site of first manufacture, Quonset Point, at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center in Davisville (a village located within the town of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, USA).
