U.S. Naval Air Station, Seaplane Hangar, Pensacola, Escambia County, FL

Significance: Building 76, Seaplane Hangar, is a triple-gabled seaplane hangar built in 1918 and located on the waterfront in the old Navy Yard. Original plans dated April 20, 1917, Dwg. #68363, Building 75 was to be a double-gabled hangar similar to Buildings 71, 72, 73. During this time, Congress declared war against Germany, thus causing accelerated construction on the base throughout the remaining months of the war. So, instead of constructing a two-bay hangar, Building 75 was increased to three bays using existing plans showing the extension of Buildings 71, 72 and 73.
