U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Machine Shop, Sixth Street opposite 10-10 Pier, Pearl City, Honolulu County, HI
Summary
Significance: They are located within the Controlled Industrial Area of the Naval Shipyard within the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark. Facility 67 was the first major shop building constructed at the Shipyard after the initial period of base construction and the only on extant there from the 1920s. At the time of its construction it was by far the largest structure erected at the base to date. It is an imposing structure of a distinctive type and period of industrial building design and is functionally essential to the Shipyard's operations. Facility 67B was constructed as part of the Shipyard's urgent expansion of shop and administrative office facilities following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Together, these buildings represent an architectural and historical contrast between the unhurried, individual peacetime design and construction of permanent facilities and the rushed, wartime design and construction at Pearl harbor to meet the increased personnel and workload needs of wartime conditions.
