Architectural Feature: Exterior
Date: 1942 to Present
This WWII, temporary metal building, located near Monmouth Boulevard, a distance from other buildings, had a interesting use. During WWII and later, prototype radar instrument panels for aircraft were tested for electrical design problems that could cause fuel vapor explosions if the aircraft were damaged by enemy anti-aircraft. The metal building (Photo No. 122) measures 20' x 20' with a 7' 8" x 10' 2" side wing with wood shiplap siding. A double metal door with a transom and three sets of three metal awning type windows are located on its road-facing front. A single three over three windows is found on the wing rear.

Proposed work
During Phase I, prepare surface, prime and repaint metal exterior. Stabilize interior for future use and interim storage space use. A possible Phase V use, is an exhibit interpreting how American fighting forces were made more effective through the efforts of Signal Corps engineers at Camp Evans who designed and tested equipment to meet world wide battle conditions.
