NASA Industrial Plant, Testing Facility, 12214 Lakewood Boulevard, Downey, Los Angeles County, CA
Summary
Significance: The Northwest Corner of Building 1 is of unknown significance. However, Building 1, as a whole, is the administrative and historical "heart" of the NASA Industrial Plant at Downey. Beneath Building 1's roof there are approximately 22 separate buildings, some of which are part of the original plant constructed in 1929, and all of which contribute to the plant's 70-year history of design, production, and testing for the aircraft/aerospace industry. The Northwest Corner of Building 1 is all that is being documented in this report.
