The Riverside Hangar is a historic hangar complex at the St. Paul Downtown Airport in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. It comprises two parallel hangars with a connecting structure and some additions. Built on the bank of the Mississippi River in 1942, it was part of a bomber modification center that operated at the airport during World War II. The two hangar buildings were constructed with glued laminated timber arches, an innovation born of wartime steel shortages. Half the arches were manufactured in Peshtigo, WI by Unit Structures, Inc. and half by Rilco Laminated Products, Inc. at Albert Lea, MN.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
