Summary

Significance: Facility 250 is significant as the headquarters of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who was both the Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet and the Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas during WWII. This building, which lies outside the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark (NHL) boundary, was designated an individual NHL in 1987. ... The building is also significant since it displays two distinctive types and periods of construction. The lower three floors were of concrete construction (with the basement and first floor having 4'-thick walls), while the upper stories, added in 1943-44, were built of wood. This reflects the two periods of WWII construction; the bombproof original portion shows the defensive construction of the early war years, and the wooden addition if representative of the period when the U.S. was on the offensive and had no fear of an attack by the Japanese...

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. This maze of rolling cranes, at a large Eastern shipyard is a typical scene in many large shipyards at work on ships for Uncle Sam's Navy and merchant fleet. Stocks of material are piled up for the cranes to take to vessels under construction so there is no delay in production while waiting for sections or materials. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars.
