NASA Industrial Plant, Storage Facility, 12214 Lakewood Blvd, Downey, Los Angeles County, CA
Building 25 was constructed in 1941 during the plant`s World War II expansion. Historical records indicate that the building was designed for manufacturing purposes, and some early site plans indicate that is was also used for paint storage. Since the 1960`s, the building has functioned largely as a storage facility, and in the 1990s was used to house real estate and planning records.
