A Historic Building
The building where House of Air is located has a long history. It was built in 1921. Back then, it was an airplane hangar for Crissy Field. It helped launch De Havilland DH-48 biplanes. These planes were part of the United States Army's 91st Observation Squadron.
Later, the Army used the hangar for painting vehicles. It was also used for offices and storage. This historic building helps make Crissy Field a National Historic Landmark.
A San Francisco architect named Mark Horton redesigned the hangar. It now has a huge glass door that opens up. This door is 42-foot (13 m) wide and 20-foot (6.1 m) tall. There's also a second-story catwalk where you can look down at the trampolines. Inside, you can see old photos of the building and the Presidio. They are on a 35-foot (11 m) display wall at the entrance.
