CURT ISS -WRIGHT HANGAR CONDIT ION ASSESSMENT
Columbia, South Carolina
University of South Carolina Public History
Shane Lesko
EXTERIOR
Curtiss-Wright Hangar, Owens Field Municipal Airport Hangar
Located at the corner of Jim Hamilton Boulevard and Airport Drive, the circa-1929 Curtiss-Wright Hangar stands as a reminder of the
contributions of air transportation to the City of Columbia. One of the last remaining examples of its kind, the historic hangar stands out
among its peer structures throughout the United States due to its largely intact original configuration and composition, despite its level
of deterioration.
The purpose of this condition assessment is to provide a reference point for future conservation and rehabilitation efforts. It is the aim of
this report to catalogue the most pressing repairs that currently compromise both the structural and important aesthetic elements of this
historic property.
Completed in March 2012, this report highlights, through description and imagery, the repairs needed, suggested courses of action and
correlating priority levels of each repair. The conditions that jeopardize the structural integrity along with the repairs required to
restore the hangar to its original, unique design are assigned higher priorities than are repairs that are either secondary in immediacy
or are superficial and do not demand immediate or secondary attention.
It is not the scope of this report to furnish professional or detailed repair instructions toward the conservation or restoration of the
hangar but rather to establish a reference point that future historic preservation professionals may reference when establishing their
respective assessments and suggested work at a later date.

Dominated by sliding steel doors, the front of the hangar, the
literal and figurative “face” of the structure, requires a
significant amount of structural repair, particularly at all
points of contact with its sliding steel door sections. Certain
aesthetic repairs on the southwestern façade should receive
special consideration and priority due to the significant
historical identifying characteristics they provide the hangar.

ajar. Door appears to
be sound yet
immovable due to
debris in its path.

must be first
accomplished
before the

poses to the
structure and best
possible repair.
