Fort Rodman Military Reservation, Gas Chamber, East side of main access road, New Bedford, Bristol County, MA

Significance: The Gas Chamber Building retains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, and workmanship. It was built specifically for training troops in gas mask use during World War II, a major event in this country's history. In addition, as part of a coastal installation during the final period of coastal fortifications, it contributes to the existing Fort Taber National Register District, which is significant because it is "representative of the development of American coastal fortifications from the Revolutionary period through the mid-20th century."
