Circular Aircraft Hangar

I remember seeing some time back a hangar design that used a circular
dome style building. It showed GA airplanes all backed in and seemed
like it used the space well. A Google search on round, circular, and
dome aircraft hangars did not lead me to the hangar that I was looking
for.

Anyone remember seeing something like this?

How many planes fit out a 45'x14" bifold door?

As many as you want, one at a time?

Really, what is the question? One of wingspan? Most any single, twin of 6
seats or less, except sailplanes, would be my estimation, upon looking at
some typical specs.

And before I hit send I meant to add that at one time they had a drawing as
you describe but I don't see it on their site now.

"In 1966, a significant innovation in hangar architecture and engineering
took place with the construction of the Carousel Hangar. Clark W. Smith of
Decatur, Indiana, patented the design of the Carousel Hangar in 1965. Mr.
Smith built this prototype four-place hangar in 1966, and it is the only
example of this design ever built."

I saw some hangars very much like these at the Monterey CA airport some
years
ago. IIRC they were scheduled to be torn down (they were rather
decrepit).
