RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends approval to a resoultion designating White Hangar as a Local Ordinance District. BACKGROUND White Hangar or the Arkansas Air Museum serves as an example of one of the two dozen or so existing World War 11-era aircraft hangars. White Hangar was designed and constructed by assistant City Engineer Henry George in 1943 . A shortage of building material during the war led Mr. George to utilize the supply of wood found in the Boston Mountains to construct the trusses. Metals were scavenged from old barns, cars, buildings and junk yards to make the nails and sixteen 400-pound doors (Arkansas Register of Historic Places, www.arkansaspreservation.org). Only eight men worked on the structure, which was completed in less than 14 months for $ 15,000. Their efforts resulted in a wooden structure 150 feet long by 100 feet wide with additional wings for offices and workshops. Eleven curved and exposed wooden trusses and lateral bracing form the structure; the floor is concrete. White Hangar was renovated in 1985 when the Air Museum took over the structure. Vinyl siding was added during the renovations, which is one of the modifications that has prevented the structure from receiving recognition from the National Register of Historic Places. The 20,000-square-foot museum houses static and flying aircraft and is open seven days a week. A nine-member board governs the museum ' s operations. The Fayetteville Historic District Commission was charged with creating a local ordinance district. The benefits of a local historic district include protection and preservation of significant community landmarks as well as opportunities for preservation and restoration grant funds from the State Historic Preservation Program. White Hangar is a significant community landmark and asset both to the City and to the State. In addition to showcasing a unique architectural style from the 1940s, the hangar represents the resourcefulness exhibited by builders during World War II. The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program recognizes the structure as an historic property, but modifications to the building have made it ineligible for the National Registry. Designating White Hangar as a local historic district will make the building eligible for potential grant funds that could preserve and restore the original structure. Restoring the original structure would include removing the vinyl siding and replacement windows (Wollenburg Building Conservation, Architectural Assessment Report on the Arkansas Air Museum, 2004). The Historic District Commission report was presented and approved by the Airport Board on November 14, 2007 pending Federal Aviation Administration approval, and presented and approved by the Air Museum Board on December 3, 2007.

The hangar has an arch-shaped roof with shed projections and is covered with composition shingles. The exterior of the building is covered with artificial siding. Elaboration The structure sits on a concrete foundation with footings that were dug six feet into the ground with supports for the eleven trusses sitting on fop of them. These footings were fifteen feet long — the length at the base of the trusses — and twelve inches wide. After these were in place, the one hundred foot by one hundred fifty"foot concrete foundation was poured. The design features a series of large half-moon trusses with aground clearance of about thirty five feet at the peak` The trusses were built eight inches thick to help distribute the 'weight -of the roof evenly. The City of Fayetteville carpenter, under the direction of Frank Brooks, constructed the wooden framework on the ground so that it would enable the men, who were working by hand, to cut and bend the two inch dimension lumber and locate the angle braces. Several one hundred pound wood kegs of nails and many board feet of lumber were used for each truss. A most interesting feature of the White Hangar are the sixteen, four hundred pound doors. The ten-by-sixteen foot doors were split evenly between the north and south ends of the hangar so that when they were open they would expose two Iarge sixteen by eighty foot apertures. These openings would enable the students and instructors to remove flying equipment from the hangar with ease. The doors were put together from recycled parts of cars and other metal material that could be locally found. • • . . . 1 1 : - The west extension of the structure contains two thirty-by-eighteen foot classrooms and four fifteen-by-fifteen foot offices. The east extension houses a pilot, instructor and student ready room plus restrooms. A conference room was built into the facility to take care of additional needs. On the southeast end was a parachute loft for storage and a packing area.

Elaboration The White Hangar, located at Drake Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was designed and constructed by assistant -City Engineer Henry George. The War Department and the 305th College Training Detachment joined to assist in the funding of the project in. 1941. Since the building of the structure was during the war year, there was a'setious shortage of building material. The builder decided to build the hangar from the plentiful supply of wood found in the nearby Boston Mountains. While the timber was being cut and processed, a search was organized to find the metals required to hold.the building together. Old barns, cars, buildings, and junk yards were all sources for obtaining the. materials used to make the hangar's nails and sixteen, four hundred pound doors, including rails and runners. There were two separate phases of construction. The concrete footings were put down first. These footings were dug six feet into the ground as supports for the eleven trusses sitting on top of them. The footings were fifteen feet long at the base and twelve inches wide. After these were in place, the foundation was poured. The one hundred by one hundred fifty foot foundation rose high enough above the ground to protect the wood trusses from rot and insect infestation. The eleven half moon trusses sat on top. The trusses were constructed on the ground.so that .they could first be assembled by hand. The finished trusses were then raised by pulleys and the use of local trucks. Braces were than placed between so as to prevent structural damage from wind forces. Only eight men at a time worked on the hangar. Henry George did all of the plumbing, welding, electrical wiring and engineering work while four carpenters and three helpers accomplished the completion on the exterior as well as the interior of the structure. Henry George boasted that the completed hangar would hold eighty aircraft. A short time later, he had the opportunity to prove his claim. However, he was only able to fit forty-one planes in the hangar for the simple reason there were only forty-one planes on the grounds. In order to fit the forty-one planes in the structure, it was necessary to tip some of the J-3 Cubs on their noses.

All of Arkansas's historic sites are treasures to be cherished. But only cities with local preservation ordinances have the legal authority to protect their architectural heritage. A historic district commission with the power of design review is an excellent tool for preserving an area's "sense of place," for protecting the integrity of individual landmarks such as White Hangar, as well as for fostering community pride and enhancing property values.. It is especially encouraging to hear that the White Hangar Historic District was initiated by the property owners working closely with city planning staff. Because of this close cooperation, White Hangar will become one of only four local landmarks in Arkansas to be individually protected by a preservation ordinance. (The otherswNn Texarkana and Van Buren.) In summary, AHPP strongly endorses the Fayetteville Historic District Commission's proposal to adopt the White Hangar Historic District as a local ordinance historic district for the City of Fayetteville. We applaud the commission's efforts to date and look forward to your City Council's decision on this important matter. This office and I are available as resources to you and your commission should you have any questions. As always, please feel free to contact Boyd Maher, our Certified Local Government Coordinator, at 501-324-9665 if we can be of assistance.

The property owner wants to establish a Local Ordinance District, and the Historic District Commission is also supportive. The LOD has also received the support of the State Office. The local Historic Preservation Committee is supportive. This would create Fayetteville's first local ordinance district. Leslie Belden (public) stated she is the Vice Chair of the Historic District Commission, and stated she wanted to assure the Commission that it is appropriate for one building to constitute a Local Ordinance District. Commissioner Myres stated she was very enthusiastic about the idea, and wholeheartedly supports it. Motion: Commissioner Myres made a motion to approve the request and forward it to the Historic District Commission for a formal public hearing. Commissioner Winston seconded the motion. Commissioner Ostner reiterated Dr. Goodstein-Murphree's comments about there. being. little c. to not like. The Commission has seen two tourism items on one agenda tonight. He stated hb was on a previous Historic District Commission that had attempted to adopt an LOD, and had failed. A Local Ordinance district would fmally be in Fayetteville. He hopes this will solidify the Historic District Commission and its presence in Fayetteville. He stated he also hopes this will lead to others, as well.

Stan Ku/awe photo 3745 This hangar is the oldest aviation -related structure still standing in Northwest Arkansas. The cost for building the hangar, which was built entirely with funds from the city of Fayetteville, was approximately $15,000. The only supports for the roof arching over the 100' x 150' floor are the eleven 8 -inch wide beams, each set on 15 -foot centers. Made of several 2 x 8 and 2 x 6 timbers, the beams are curved and internally braced so as not to give or sag. The concrete foundations they rest on are set five feet into the ground. Over the years the White Hangar housed the airport manager's office, Fayetteville Flying Service, the airport's Flight Service Station and headquarters for Scheduled Skyways. The White Hangar was renovated at a cost of $150,000 to mark Arkansas's Sesquicentennial in 1986 and established as the home of the Arkansas Air Museum under a lease agreement with the city of Fayetteville. The renovation included changing the slope of the roofs over the space that runs down each side of the hangar, installing a sprinkler system for fire protection, termite protection and the removal of four layers of shingles to allow for the View of a portion of the interior of the "White Hangar" in June 2007.
