Summary
Significance: Building 120 appears to have been used as a materials test lab and compatibility testing facility. The structure was believed to be built about 1960, as part of the Apollo missions. There is some conflicting information about the actual date of construction since the "Final Historic Buildings and Structures Inventory and Evaluation" states that Building 120 was being built in 1941.
