Recordation of Buildings 9, 126, 178, and 261, Naval Air Engineering Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey
Author(s): Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst
Year: 2003
Summary
Commissioned in 1921, NAS Lakehurst served as the home of the United States Navy"s (USN) Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) programs. It was the primary operational, training, and maintenance facility for LTA ships and personnel on the East Coast during World War II. After World War II, NAS Lakehurst was the center of the USN's LTA activities until the LTA program ended in 1961.
To better support their mission, NAES Lakehurst plans to demolish Buildings 9, 126, 178, and 261. These structures are part of a National Register of Historic Places-eligible Lighter-Than-Air Historic District. To mitigate the adverse effect of the proposed project to Buildings 9, 126, 178, and 261, the Department of the Navy, the NJ SHPO, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation entered into a Memorandum of Agreement stipulating photographic documentation of the four structures and written and graphic documentation of Building 9. This documentation was undertaken to fulfill these stipulations.
