Building 1001 was one of the first buildings completed on the field, in 1943. It served as the "symbolic heart" of the naval air station until the station closed in 1993. All commanding officers of the base have been officed there. It served as an administration building. It is a two-story H-shaped building with a four-story tower that provides a sweeping view of the area.[2]

It is one of seven buildings on Naval Air Station Chase Field that were listed on the National Register as part of a study of its historic resources.[3]
