Selfridge Field, Building No. 1585, South of East Joy Boulevard, west of Taxiway C, Mount Clemens, Macomb County, MI
Summary
Significance: Building 1585 was erected to support crews manning the 661st Radar units which provided long range search and identification radar to NORAD for continuous surveillance of North America to protect against nuclear attack. Although in a state of advanced deterioration, this latrine is a component of the only prefabricated personnel support complex surviving on base. It was an important locus in the daily regimen of personnel associated with the Army radar complexes and therefore illustrates and important facet of Selfridge's Cold War defense mission.
