Yes, Paul, It did burn down.
I'm not sure when, but it was caused by hay that was stored in the hangar catching fire.
The history of it can be seen in the movies that they show there and are included in the price of the admission to the Museum.
 Pretty awesome, huh!
 Did you know about the airplane that flew through the hangar?
 Lots of history there.
 Well worth a visit.

Subject: [COUPERS] question for Oregon Coupers

Hello all you Oregon Coupers.

I just took a run down to Tillamook today to view the
blimp hanger and its contents. I can see that there
was a second hanger originally. Did it burn down?
If so when?

I was awed by its size. What a mass of old dried wood
should it ever catch fire. And all those priceless planes
inside. They wanted to keep my Coupe and give me the
P-38 but I told them I couldn't afford the gas. <G>

Cheers:

The visibility was at least 100 miles what a fine day
for flying.
