Administration Building
Administration Building, Colonial Revival office building at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas
The Administration Building rises 170 feet with Spanish Colonial Revival design elements, featuring a central tower covered by a ceramic-tiled domed roof.
The United States Army Air Corps constructed this administrative center in 1931 at Randolph Field to serve as a primary training facility headquarters.
Local personnel refer to this structure as the Taj Mahal due to its architectural grandeur, making it a recognized symbol of American military aviation training.
The building contains administrative offices for the 12th Flying Training Wing, a functional 500,000-gallon water tank, and a theater that seats 1,200 people.
A wooden replica of the Administration Building, crafted by base retirees in 1984, includes an operational electrical beacon for display at military conventions.
