Built in 1939 (with WPA funds), this large
Landplane Hangar provided shelter for Navy planes. It was sited across
Avenue B
(now 63rd Ave NE)
directly east of Building 2 for proximity to the plane assembly and
repair
facility. It was also sited near the landing field, which was east of
the
hangar. The flying field no longer exists. Two two-story, steel frame
lean-tos
(wings) with corrugated asbestos siding were added to the Landplane
Hangar
(Building 32) using WPA funds. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration) is the current owner.
