Summary for 7700 SAND POINT WAY / Parcel ID 0225049061 / Inv # 0

Historic Name: NAS Seattle Building 312 - Small Arms & Pyrotechnic Magazine Common Name:
Style: Vernacular Neighborhood:
Built By: Year Built: 1952
 
Significance
Built in 1952, Building 312 was constructed to house small arms and explosive devices. The structure was sited at the far, east end of the naval air station near Lake Washington, away from core buildings and daily functions.
 
Appearance
This single-story, rectangular building is located along the lakeside loop road at the northeast part of the site. Due to the explosive nature of the materials historically stored there, the building is rather isolated and has only one opening. The doorway is in the east wall, facing Lake Washington and the road; thus, it is away from the rest of the former naval air station site. 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, as are the metal doors. The south side has small, half-round vent covers made of concrete.
