Notes
  • Significance: This concrete acoustical structure was built during World War II to surround an outdoor propeller test area and craneway. The unique concrete tube construction was a response to the need to muffle the noise of propeller tests while allowing a free flow of air, and the war-related shortage of many building materials.
