Summary

This report presents the results of an inventory of Cold War era buildings and structures at Cape Cod Air Station (AS), which has operated as a missile early warning radar installation from 1979 to the present and is currently managed by the 21 SW. The purpose of the inventory was to evaluate the facilities at Cape Cod (AS) in terms of their eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within the historical context of the Cold War. All of the facilities at this installation were constructed less than 50 years ago, and must therefore meet the criterion of "exceptional importance" to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (36 CFR 60.4g).
