description

Summary

Significance: It is a contributing resource to the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark and a unique facility introducing new technology for examination of shipyard materials. It is a distinctive building type with a unique function, originally serving as an Industrial X-Ray Building in the shipyard area of Pearl Harbor. Its completion in 1944 was associated with the increased shipyard workflow experienced during WWII and with the need to examine manufactured materials for defects and to examine battle-damaged components. It was used to test castings for flows at the Foundry (Facility 6). It continues to function as an X-ray facility today.
