I'm not exactly sure, but I think this is the airdock that Goodyear currently uses to house their blimps.

No its not. It is now owned by Lockheed Martin who is building a high altitude airship for the military. Goodyear built a few dirigible blimps here in the thirties and then used it to build blimps during WWII. Goodyear's blimp hanger is at Wingfoot Lake in Springfield Township, Ohio - The 'Spirit of Goodyear' is based there.

It was said that the Airdock has it's own weather. Apparently it gets (or got) so humid, it felt like it was raining on you if you were inside.

This was the hangar were the airships "Akron" and "Macon" were built, by the Zeppelin/Goodyear Corporation. "Akron" and "Macon" were some of the largest flying machines ever built, just slightly smaller than the Zeppelins "Hindenburg" and "Graf Zeppelin II", very large, over 700ft long, and all built on a rigid frame design. The biggest difference between "Akron" and "Macon" and the Zepps, the Goodyear ships where floated with non-flammable Helium.
