Identify the Mystery Photograph!
For points and valuable prizes, identify this edifice, its location, its purpose, and its architectural and/or historical significance. Click to enlarge if necessary.
Since posts like this are the essence of lame blogging, you have probably already surmised that I'm going to be very busy today and that blogging will therefore be a bit catch as catch can.

OK - I'll bite. Is it a zeppelin hanger? Perhaps Lakehurst, NJ where the Hindenburg crashed on May 6, 1937?

Looks like the nose of the Hindenburg to me? Maybe a museum now?

I'll guess that it is a DOT storage facility that primarily stores road salt for the winter... I'll guess it's in New Jersey. But that's as far as I can get.

It's a zeppelin hanger, but it's at the lake in Germany where the zeppelin first flew

It's an Airship hanger orignally built for the Goodyear company, but recently operated by Lockhead Martin The damage on the left side of the hanger door was caused by a fire last year.
The hanger is located in Akron Ohio.

It's the Warner brassiere testing center.
Alternately (and more likely), it's a storage facility for the Air & Space Museum where Langley may have also produced his nonflying airplanes.

Needless to say, I bow to the brilliance of David M and the Redneck Texan, who nailed it to the wall. RPD, too. What, you guys hang out in Ohio?

This is the Mosque "Dome of Mickey" if you look on the very top you will see a likeness of said mouse wearing an Arab costume. A small minority of Muslims believe that the prophet's heir was indeed a small brown rat.

The Blimp hangers in Tustin, California have large doors on both ends. One is going to be torn down in a few years to make way for more houses. The base was demiltarized years ago.
