Summary

Significance: This curved building, one of the most unusual features of the site when seen from overhead, was originally constructed as a series of personal automobile garages for the senior management of the company. At the onset of WWII a second story was added for overflow storage. It formed the backdrop for many formal ceremonies associated with the company's contributions to the war production in two world wars.
