U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Enlisted Men's Barracks & Mess Hall, Marine Barracks, Neville Way, Pearl City, Honolulu County, HI

Significance: The Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964, due to the crucial role it played in the Nation's defense during the twentieth century and the calamitous events which occurred on December 7, 1941. Building 221 was among the first structures built at Pearl Harbor on the Marine Reservation. It was designed by a prominent east coast architect, Jules Henri de Sibour. This building and three nearby residences for Marine Officers demonstrate the elegance of de Sibour's designs, and help establish a cohesive character for the area. Architecturally, it is significant as one of the few neoclassical-style structures built at the base. The building represents the work of a master and embodies the distinctive characteristics of a period and type of construction.
