Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Historic Building Inventory and Evaluation

Author(s): Paige M. Peyton

Year: 2003

Summary

This report presents the results of a Historic Building Inventory and Evaluation of the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS), Colorado. The primary objective of the report is to provide the installation with a baseline historic property inventory that will support ongoing and future compliance with National Historic Preservation Act Sections 106 and 110. As a historic district, the 18 buildings are considered eligible under National Register Criterion A—association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history—for direct and continuous association with the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s mission to provide the electronic tracking of and early warning against possible air attack against the United States and Canada. The proposed district is further recommended as eligible for inclusion in the National Register under Criterion C for its unique engineering design and for being a critical element of a significant and distinguishable entity, the components of which lack individual distinction. Because of its direct association with a nationally significant historic context (United States strategic military deterrence against nuclear or ballistic missile attack), the district also meets the exceptional importance requirement of National Register Criteria Consideration G for properties less than 50 years in age.
