The hanger for the USS Macon (1933 Moffett Field) has a steel
structure, which is currently quite obvious when one drives by, since
the outer skin has been removed.

The Goodyear Airdock (1929) is also steel structure.

Lakehurst #1 (1921) is also steel:

Can you name a specific airship hanger built from wood?

For openers, look up Lakehurst 5 and 6.

Moffett Field 2 & 3 and Tillamook NAS would be two others
that come immediately to mind.

Basically when the Navy was experimenting with Zepplins
in the 20's and 30's (including USS Macon) the hangers
were built of steel. When they developed the blimp
program for submarine spotting in WW2, the additional
hangers were built of wood, due to wartime demand for
steel for other uses.
