Summary for 7777 62ND WAY / Parcel ID 0225049062 / Inv # 0

Historic Name: Building 11 - Shop & Office Building, Public Works Common Name:
Style: Vernacular Neighborhood:
Built By: Year Built: 1938
 
Significance
Built in 1938, Building 11 began as a small office for the Navy’s Public Works staff. By 1944, the building expanded substantially and housed a repair shop in addition to offices for Public Works.
 
Appearance
This single-story building has an irregular footprint and is sited in the northwest corner of the district, near Lake Washington and Building 27 Seaplane Hangar. Fenestration patterns and use of brick exhibit influences consistent with the stylistic treatment of both Art Deco and Colonial Revival resources within the district. The original small footprint quickly grew, surrounding the Torpedo Shop (Building 20) on three sides and extending farther north. There is a parking area along the east side. A poured concrete foundation supports a poured concrete structure with brick veneer cladding and a flat roof on all sections. A few areas of exterior wall exhibit corrugated metal cladding. Original doors are intact. Windows are multi-lite steel sash with center pivot portions. Alterations include the incremental additions to the north and the metal cladding.
