Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Pattern Shop, Farragut Avenue, Bremerton, Kitsap County, WA

Significance: Constructed in 1896, the Pattern Shop (Building 59) is one of the earliest extant buildings in the industrial section of the Shipyard. The Pattern Shop represents a distinctive building style of the period designed by the Navy's Bureau of Yards and Docks. The building's heavy brick masonry walls with neo-Renaissance/classical detailing and steel trussed gable roof is typical of industrial structures built in the Shipyard at the turn of the century. A functioning pattern shop since 1910, Building 59 became an essential element of the World War II ship repair/building activity at the Shipyard. The patterns and molds developed in the shop were significant in expediting the repair of ships damaged during the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entire Pacific campaign.
