This photograph shows the original Abken Airport main hangar, designed by Warner Kenyon and built in 1945. Several light aircraft could easily be accommodated in the spacious interior. At right, from front to back, were a lobby-waiting room, the business office, a classroom and a lavatory. Except for some patches of rust, the building appears to have held up pretty well after more than half a century. It is currently occupied by a small technology company.
The photograph was taken in June 2012 by aviation historian William E. Martin of Ashland, KY.
