Quonset Hut Studio started as a simple house. In 1954, the house was purchased by the Bradley brothers, Owen (1915-1998) and Harold (1926-2019), who renovated it into a recording studio. The studio is named for the military surplus Quonset hut the brothers affixed to the back of the studio during renovations. In 1962, the studio was purchased by Columbia Records, who renamed it to Columbia Studio B. The building ceased being used as a recording studio in 1982, and it was purchased by Mike Curb (1944-) in 2014. As of 2019, it was used by Belmont University to host classes as part of the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business.
