description

Summary

Significance: They are associated with the build up of the Pearl Harbor base in the early 1940s. They were a group of additional warehouses built to meet the expanding storage requirements for supplying the advance lines in the Pacific battles of WWII. These structures retain integrity and represent a type of architecture erected in response to the needs of this period, which required speed of erection and use of easily obtained materials. Their distinctive characteristics include their notable strength; three in this group are over 600' in length and are the three longest storehouses at Pearl Harbor. This grouping constitutes a distinguishable type of storehouse that differs from other WWII storehouse types at Pearl Harbor. They are contributing elements to the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark.
