From the nomination form:
"THE AIRPLANE HANGAR -1960s, is located northwest of the Ranch House. It has steel-truss construction, corrugated metal roofing and siding, a concrete floor, and a gable roof. It is painted "LBJ-green" and a carport is attached at the south end. The hangar served a number of purposes. It housed aircraft and was used for viewing motion pictures, for parties, and for press conferences. The National Park Service maintains the exterior of the hangar to its appearance during the final year of the presidency. While it no longer houses aircraft, the interior uses are carried on by Mrs. Johnson and the National Park Service."
