Historic Building Inventory and Evaluation for Joint Base Andrews, Prince George’s County, Maryland, Volumes I-III

Summary

Argonne National Laboratory conducted a historic building inventory and evaluation on behalf of the United States Air Force at Joint Base Andrews, Camp Springs, Prince George's County, Maryland. The inventory and evaluation aids Joint Base Andrews in managing the historic properties under its jurisdiction as required by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The inventory examined 52 facilities, including four large hangars, three of which are associated with the Air Force One Maintenance and Support Complex (also known as the Presidential Air Group); four pre-base nonmilitary historic structures and landscape features associated with the “Belle Chance” area of the base; and 44 base support and operations facilities. The survey identified five resources that are recommended eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, including three distinctive presidential hangars (Hangars 3, 6, and 19) and the Joint Base Andrews Passenger Terminal, all of which have been a symbolic location for historically significant events associated with the duties of the Presidents of the United States from 1961 to the present. The fifth resource is the Darcy Family Cemetery at Belle Chance, which is eligible because of its association with the original, nineteenth century plantation archaeological site
