From July 14 to July 25, MAI architectural historians Monica Bacon and Dee Ruzicka conducted a Historic Facility Inven- tory of Naval Base Guam. They evaluated 182 buildings, structures, and facilities constructed between 1945 and 1966 to determine their potential eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Dee did the field work, photo- graphing and taking detailed notes on each building to evaluate its historical integrity, while Monica searched the Navy's Plan Files for architectural drawings that would document the original design and history of alterations of each resource. Working under a Navy contract with Inter- national Archaeological Resource Institute, Inc., Dee and Monica will create a database that includes date of con- struction, era, NHRP eligibility, and significance criteria for each property and, with Cold War historian Karen Weitze, will prepare a report that includes a historical overview of the resources at Naval Base Guam.
