Current View of McChord`s Area D looking northwest. While there are several 1400-series buildings in the area all are of relatively recent construction.

McChord`s Air Freight Terminal dominates the former radar site.

Bldg. 517 - Former barracks, now McChord Air Museum. Shows old Control Tower cab.

Bldg. 518 - Former mess hall, now 62nd Engineering Services Flight

Bldg. 551 - Former power plant, now Relocation/Airman`s Attic

Bldg. 552- Former radar ops building, current Base Housing Office. This building, along with others in the 635th AC&W/25th AD compound have been "beautified" by the addition of ridged roofs, windows and porticos. This building originally had three (3) doors and no windows and was a rather dull grey in color.
