description: An inventory and assessment of the Cold War-era (1945–1991) built environment at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, was conducted by Geo-Marine, Inc., in October 2000 to assist the United States Air Force, Air Education and Training Command meet the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended through 1992 (16 U.S.C. § 470 et seq.; P.L. 89–665; 80 Stat. 915). The primary objective of this investigation was to assess buildings and structures that were constructed during the Cold War at Randolph for eligibility under the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria, predominantly Criterion Consideration G for resources less than 50 years of age. Many of the buildings on the base inventory list were removed from consideration because they were part of the base infrastructure and had no apparent Cold War mission. Ten buildings held a more direct association with the Cold War and were evaluated. Two of the buildings (Buildings 40 and 41) had a direct connection to World War II and Korean Conflict B-29 training and are recommended eligible for the NRHP. Four of the other buildings evaluated were determined to lack exceptional Cold War significance, and the four B-29 crew barracks that were assessed have been architecturally altered and no longer retain their integrity.
