Little Rock Air Force Base: Cold War-Era Buildings and Structures Inventory and Assessment

Author(s): Edward Salo; Marsha Prior; Joe C. Freeman

Year: 2002

Summary

This report provides an inventory and assessment of Cold War-era buildings and structures at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas. This work was conducted to assist the Air Education and Training Command in fulfilling its responsibilities under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Out of a total of 320 Cold War-era buildings and structures at Little Rock AFB, 33 were identified as potentially significant Cold War resources and were thus evaluated for NRHP eligibility under Criterion Consideration G. Of the 33 evaluated properties, only two buildings had retained their integrity at the time of assessment and were considered to be important Cold War resources. Building 250, a maintenance hangar, was recommended eligible under Criterion Consideration G for its exceptional Cold War significance, under Criterion A for its association with the 1950s SAC bomber alert mission, and under Criterion C as an example of a Kuljian Corporation-designed three-bay, second-generation, double-cantilever, steel SAC maintenance hangar, one of only ten constructed. Building 258, an Aircraft Shelter, is recommended eligible under Criterion Consideration G for exceptional Cold War significance, under Criterion A for its association with SAC bomber alert operations, and under Criterion C as an example of a 1960s hardened aircraft shelter.
