8.51 Gas Cylinder Storage Shed (Building 9344)

Architectural Feature: Exterior
 Date: 1945

This special purpose 8' 3" x 18' 3" metal frame storage shed (Photo No. 140) sits on a truck tailgate level, rectangular, concrete platform.  The north east end had a covered loading dock that is angled at 45 degrees to accommodate cylinder loading.  It has a composition roof with a heat ventilator.  Its purpose is to store flammable cylinders of pressurized gas safely. It is rusty but in fair condition.  Recently, the structure was hit by a backhoe and a 4" x 4" support column needs to be replaced.

Proposed work

During Phase I, prepare surface, prime and paint.  Replace broken 4" x 4" support column.  This building will be restored to original use.  Gas cylinders will be needed for Infoage science demonstrations and this existing structure will continue to serve, as it contributes to the appearance of the site as an electronics research site.
