Summary
Significance: It is located within the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark. It is significant as part of the initial development of Pearl Harbor Naval Base at the beginning of WWI. Ut was among the major shop buildings in the initial phase of construction at the shipyard that began in 1912, and has remained a boat shop for repairs and storage since that time. Facility 12 is a prominent structure characteristic of a distinctive type and period of industrial building construction and the first large industrial facility at Pearl Harbor to use a low pitched roof. It also is functionally important to the shipyard's operations. This building remains an important part of the architectural continuum at the shipyard and supports the grouping of historic facilities visible along Seventh Street outside the Controlled Industrial Area.
