Dedicated in 1930, Randolph Air Force Base quickly gained the moniker “West Point of the Air,” training thousands of cadets and instructors across almost a century of service. Towering over the Spanish Revival-style historic district is one of the most famous structures in military aviation, Building 100, known as the Taj Mahal, which contains offices, a rotunda, history exhibits and a large auditorium.

Randolph Field Historic District, which encompasses the central part of Randolph Air Force Base today, was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2001.
