Evaluation for National Register of Historic Places Eligibility of Sandia National Laboratory's Buildings 814 and Building 815, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico

Author(s): Steven R. Hoagland

Year: 1991

Summary

A National Register of Historic Places evaluation has been conducted for Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) Buildings 814 and 815. This evaluation was conducted in response to a New Mexico State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) response (Lynne Sebastian, letter of 7 /12/91 to Albert Chernoff) that questioned the significance of these and five other early laboratory buildings. The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) response went on to recommend that historical and architectural evaluations be conducted as soon as possible since these buildings were rapidly approaching 50 years of age.

This evaluation was conducted on Buildings 814 and 815 as they are scheduled to be razed as soon after Christmas 1991 as possible. The assessment of these structures suggest that they are not eligible for inclusion onto the National Register under any of the criterion, nor are they eligible as part of or as a district. These two buildings are, therefore, no longer thought to be significant as potential important information has been recovered and preserved through recordation and existing documentation. Based on this finding, it is recommended that a determination of no effect be requested from the Department of Energy and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for the proposed raising of SNL Buildings 814 and 815.
