Lowry Field’s Hangar #1, Building 402, was completed in August,1939. This was the first of the two new hangars to be built on Lowry. The hangar numbers were switched by the military in 1966, the year all flying ceased at the base, resulting in Building 402 being re-designated as Hangar #2. Building 402 features 12 massive 6 ton doors 250 feet wide that can roll open as needed. When flying ended in 1966, Building 402, now designated as Hangar #2, became the Base Supply Warehouse and later storage for the Defense and Finance Accounting Center. After the base closed in 1994 Hangar #2 was repurposed into featuring Lowry Retail & Offices, Restaurant Spaces, and Storage. A unique identifying feature of Building 402 is its original Control Tower built in the center-middle of its roof. Building 402 is currently referred to simply as “Hangar #2.”
