Spanish Colonial Revival Airfield Operations Building with Control Tower and Aircraft Tail

This Spanish Colonial Revival-style operations building, complete with control tower and palm-lined grounds, is characteristic of American military airfields built in warm-climate regions during the 1930s and 1940s. The tail of a large aircraft glimpsed between the buildings hints at the flight operations this facility once supported. Project: 218586
