Summary
Significance: Building No. 636-A is situated within the boundaries of the Pensacola Naval Air Station Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has also been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The one-story facility was built in 1940 as a pumphouse for Building No. 636 and was later converted to an electrical substation.
