Notes
  • Significance: These were constructed to service the Air Defense Command alert fighter aircraft in support of Selfridge's Cold War mission. The ADC at Selfridge occupied these fighter shelters on the East Ramp and a flight complex in the northern portion of the base. These buildings represent Selfridge's role in the Cold Ware alert fighter capability and as a regional fighter protection node in Cold War defense of the Detroit area. They are an extremely rare site type in Michigan.
  • Survey number: HAER MI-116-W
