Summary

Significance: Building 50 is a contributing element of the Mare Island Historic District. Built in 1871, it is a key component of a cluster of brick industrial buildings located at the core of the historic shipyard. It is a structural and visual link between the 1856 Building 46 (the oldest remaining building at Mare Island) and the 1873 Building 52. These three buildings form the waterfront facade for this complex, collectively forming one of the most important streetscapes among historic military and industrial buildings in California.

Production of butylene glycol. Butylene glycol is recovered from corn fermentation liquors in an experimental still in the pilot plant of the Northern Regional Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Peoria, Illinois. This is one step in the Department's research that led to the development of a fermentation method for converting corn into butylene glycol, a chemical that can be used in making anti-freeze for automobiles and in the production of commercial solvents for various manufacturing purposes. Research now is directed toward the development of a practical way to turn the butylene glycol into butadiene, from which synthetic rubber can be made. The work has already been done on a laboratory scale
