Hangar One is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, covering 8 acres (32,000 m2). An early example of mid-century modern architecture, it was built in the 1930s as a naval airship station for the USS Macon. Following its days serving the Navy, Army and Air Force, Hangar One is today the focal point of NASA's Ames Research Center and the NASA Research Park, a collaborative and diverse education, research, technology, and business community. Hangar One is listed in the Santa Clara County Heritage Resource Inventory. Hangar One is also a designated Naval Historical Monument and a pivotal resource in the U.S. Naval Air Station, Sunnyvale National Register Historic District—significant on the national level for its association with the expanding coastal defense capabilities of the U.S. Navy and airship technology during the interwar era between 1932 and 1945. In 1994, it was included to the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the US Naval Air Station Sunnyvale, California, Historic District. In 2008, Hangar One was listed as one of the 11 most endangered historic places in the U.S by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In popular culture Hangar One can be seen in various episodes of Mythbusters on The Discovery Channel and in the 2009 theatrical production of Star Trek. (wikipedia.org)
