Summary

Significance: Building 4027 at Hickam Air Force Base is significant under National Register Criterion A as a component of the build-up to World War II. Building 4027 is an example of a Practice Bomb Loading structure, built as an early component of the Hickam Air Field, which was designated at that time as a Bomber Command. The building's low-sloped gambrel roof is a distinctive form which also qualifies it under Criterion C. Building 4027 is one of the few known remaining military examples of this architectural type in Hawai'i, although other examples are known nationwide.
