Hangar One is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, larger than six football fields, it has long been one of the most recognizable landmarks of California's Silicon Valley. An early example of mid-century modern architecture, it was built in the 1930s during the Great Depression by the U.S. Navy as a hangar for dirigibles and blimps. Hangar One has a rich history that includes significance on the national level for its association with the expanding coastal defence capabilities of the U.S. Navy and airship technology, during the country's peacetime era between 1932 and 1940, continuing into World War II, Cold War spying, and space exploration. ..
