Northwest Airways Hangar & Administration Building, 590 Bayfield Street, St. Paul Downtown Airport (Holman), Saint Paul, Ramsey County, MN
Summary
Significance: Northwest Airlines Hangar and Administration Building was the airline's first corporate headquarters expressly built for that purpose. Constructed shortly after the company's takeover by St. Paul and Minneapolis interests, the building helped establish the Twin Cities as Northwest's center of operations for more than the next half century. In its materials, structural engineering, and layout, the building was highly representative of American hangar design during the early years of commercial aviation. As one of the few remaining examples of its type, Northwest Airlines Hangar and Administration Building was declared eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in the spring of 1988.
