description

Summary

Significance: Building 1001 has served as the base's command center since its completion in 1943, and it survives as a good illustration of "temporary" military architecture that the Navy specified during the rapid United States military build up of the early 1940s. Though relatively insignificant alterations detract minimally from the property's overall historic character and ambiance, Building 1001 survives as one of best-preserved World War II-era properties at Naval Air Station Chase FIeld.

Dams under construction. Watts Bar Dam, shown here under construction, has a semi-outdoors type powerhouse with an enormous gantry crane (to the right of the picture) for installation and removal of units. The project is further distinguished by a control building which is entirely removed from the hydro plant, being located some 120 feet higher on top of a steep cliff and with direct connection to the switchyard behind. The windowless left wing of the control building houses the control room; the tower-like structure in the back accomodates air conditioning, restrooms, etc. The glass wall, upper level, contains the reception room with a broad semi-circular overlook terrace, the story below the terrace devoted to offices
