description

Summary

Significance: It was located within the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark. It was associated with early base development at Pearl Harbor and the use of railroads within the base and with the coaling stations. Also, it was a good example of a high bay industrial building for storage of locomotive engines, converted to one of the many wartime efforts during WWII. It had a distinctive type of utilitarian warehouse architecture common to industrial buildings of the early 1900s.
