| Appearance |
| This single-story, rectangular storage building is located at the south end of the district, on the south side of NE 65th Street. Due to the explosive nature of the materials historically stored there, the building is rather isolated and has only one opening. The metal double doors are on the north wall. The poured concrete foundation supports a board-formed, poured concrete structure capped by a side gable roof. The roofing material is corrugated asbestos panels. A concrete loading dock is intact. This building is identical in design and materials to Building 312, which took the name and function to a more remote location on the former naval air station. |
