I don't recall the roofs being black, but that could be totally incorrect. Looking on the Members Layout pages at Mike Spoor's 1954 layout, three of the four images show lighter colored roofs. I'm not saying this is correct, but I know that Mike was pretty meticulous about these sort of things. I looked at the Flicker images for Highlands, but the picture is from ground level, rather than from the single lane bridge over the tracks, looking east. There has to be a color photo of that somewhere.

Thanks!

While I've seen a ton of color photos of these, I can't seem to find an overhead shot that clearly shows the color of the gravel. Does anyone know if it was gray, white, or tan?
Also, these huts are currently unavailable. Does anyone have some extras they won't be using and are willing to sell?
Thanks,
