Notes
  • Significance: Building T-1555 is an example of an 800 Series Type F-2 Fire Station. Though some modifications have been made over the years, the original form and materials are clearly distinguishable, and the materials used to construct the additions generally repeat the original construction materials. The construction of Building T-1555 was part of a massive, nation-wide mobilization program designed to build cantonments in which to house and train the expanded World War II Army. The 800 Series, and the 700 Series that preceded it, was a comprehensive set of drawings which could be used interchangeably in creating the various building types. War mobilization buildings are significant for their construction and technological innovation. Techniques such as the standardization of plans, prefabrication of units, and assembly-line approach to construction were largely pioneered in the construction of these mobilization structures.
