description

Summary

Significance: Constructed in 1943 as a brig, Building No. 710 currently houses administrative offices for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Building No. 710 was one of several buildings erected at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola during the World War II period. Although its function did not support the base's primary mission of aviation training, Building No. 710 played a supporting role in NAS Pensacola's day-to-day operation. The resource has undergone few alterations since its construction and is a good local example of the Art Deco style applied in an industrial setting. Building No. 710 is one of many buildings at the station that sustained damage by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.
