| Significance |
|
|
|
Built in 1938 (with WPA funds), this large Seaplane Hangar provided shelter for Navy seaplanes. It was sited near the Pontiac Bay at the north end of the naval air station and to Building 2 for proximity to the plane assembly and repair facility. In more recent years, Building 27 has been used for aircraft repair, offices, and heavy equipment storage.

| Appearance |
| This hangar has an open, four-story volume with four-story towers at the corners. Located towards the northwest corner of the district, this hangar has a rectangular footprint. The main entrance is on the west side. Hangar doors open on the east and west sides. This hangar is of similar design and materials to Buildings 32 and 33, but Building 27 housed seaplanes and predates the other two. A poured concrete foundation supports a steel frame structure clad with corrugated metal, all capped by a low-rise, parallel gable roof. The hangar has a symmetrical facade on the west, north, and east sides. Tall, sliding metal doors with steel sash windows and small personnel doors are intact. Wings have original six-over-six, double-hung wood sash windows and four-lite, four-panel wood doors at the entrances. Alterations include a cement board addition with boarded over or replacement windows on the south side of the hangar. |
