U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Naval Ammunition Depot West Loch, Oahu, Dispensary, Near Avenue A between First & Second Streets, Lualualei, West Loch Branch Naval Magazine, Pearl City, Honolulu County, HI
Summary
The name was changed from U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Medical Clinic to U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Naval Ammunition Depot West Loch, Oahu, Dispensary to more accurately reflect its historic name.
Significance: The U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964. As a Category 3 structure, it has been determined that Building No. 43 functioned as part of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, but is only of minor importance to the historic character of the National Historic Landmark.
Facility 43 is located within the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark and is a contributing element. It is significant for its association with the history of base development at West Loch and the buildup of Pearl Harbor in the months leading up to World War II. In addition it is significant as a good example of a modern style splinterproof medical facility constructed during World War II. It is one of three extant medical buildings on Oahu to follow similar plans. The other two structures, Facilities 22 and 48, are situated at NCTAMS (Fac. 22) and the Puuloa Training Facility (Fac. 48).
