American Airways Hangar and Administration Building
American Airways Hangar and Administration Building, Historic hangar and office complex at Meacham International Airport, Fort Worth, United States.
The American Airways Hangar and Administration Building is an office and storage complex at Meacham International Airport consisting of two stories with brick construction and steel framework. The hangar occupies two-thirds of the space, while administrative offices use the remaining third.
Built in 1933 as the first structure at Meacham Field, the building serves as an early example of commercial aviation infrastructure. It received National Register of Historic Places designation in 2008, recognizing its role in early aviation history.
The building displays distinctive Moderne style features with fluted cast stone columns and an American Airways eagle relief that reflect 1930s aviation design language. These architectural details speak to a time when air travel was still exotic and represented progress.
The building sits on the Meacham Airport grounds and remains accessible in its original role as a hangar and office complex. Visitors should understand this is an active airport facility where standard airport guidelines apply.
Russian-born architect Abraham Epstein designed this facility as the first permanent structure on the grounds. His design established standards for functionality that influenced later aviation facility planning.
