Summary

This structure was moved to its current location in 1945. (5/14/03, KEY)
Significance: The Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964, due to the crucial role it played in the Nation's defense during the twentieth century and the catastrophic events that occurred on December 7, 1941. Building 199 is located within the boundaries of the U.S. Naval Base Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark (PHNHL), and is deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the PHNHL. In the Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP), the building has been determined to "have relatively minor importance for defining the historic character of the installation." The building was constructed in 1942 and has since been relocated and extensively modified over time. Many of the remodeled elements are inconsistent with the original construction. Building 199 is a support building whose function, design, location or other characteristics do not merit designating this building as one of "central" importance to the PHNHL.
