| Appearance |
| This single-story, utilitarian shop has a rectangular plan and is sited in the northwest corner of the district. A poured concrete foundation supports a poured concrete structure with brick cladding and a flat roof with a parapet. The only exterior entrance is in the east facade, which is symmetrical, apart from the concrete loading platform and ramp. Windows, doors, downspouts, cladding, and loading platform/ramp are original features. Steel sash, multi-lite windows with center pivot sections flank the double wood doors. Doors have wood panels beneath multi-lite glazing. Copper leader heads and downspouts direct water from scuppers at either end of the east facade. Ornament is limited to a brick soldier lintel over the doorway and a soldier course above the windows, stretching the length of the building. This former Torpedo Shop is surrounded on three sides by Building 11; only the east facade is entirely visible. |
