Completed in 1934 at a cost of $175,590.97, it has a double-bay metal frame on a concrete foundation, roofed with metal bowstring trusses. Corners are reinforced with concrete pylons, and the side walls are hollow tile masonry. It is the oldest standing aircraft building on the base and the only surviving early airborne support structure from the Depression-era expansion of Pope Field. Earlier wooden hangars from the 1920s and a balloon hangar were removed. It is also the base's only remaining bowstring truss building and shows hollow tile construction typical of the pre-1950 Southeast. Later changes include a control tower, World War II second-story and shop additions, and a 1958 Base Operations addition between the bays. The building has been in continuous use and today holds base operations, storage and a passenger terminal.","period_of_significance":"1934","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"No Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still in military use, housing Base Operations, storage and a passenger aircraft terminal; in continuous use since 1934.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:50.658477-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/77/7175/47717577/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/90002153.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717577","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangars_4_and_5,_Pope_Air_Force_Base","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18207634"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/cumberland-county/hangars-4-and-5-pope-air-force-base-90002153/"}
