| Additional Information: | Building 325 was constructed from Air Force Drawing 39-15-01 and was one of four motor vehicle storage sheds built during the expansion of Volk Field CRTC into a permanent training site for Air National Guard units. The architect listed on the drawings was John J. Flad & Associates and Mead & Hunt, Inc., Architects & Engineers, Madison, Wisconsin, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District. The building measures 120 x 35 feet and is constructed of concrete block along the outer and end walls with reinforced-concrete corners and concrete piers spaced along the outer walls. The shed roof had a slight overhang along the front elevation. The front (east) elevation originally was open bays. In 1967, several bays of the building were widened with a metal frame addition and all the open bays along the east elevation were enclosed with overhead garage doors to provide heated storage for motorized equipment. In 1990, Building 325 was renovated for use by the 128th Tactical Control Squadron. The doorways on the east elevation were infilled. Overhead door and single door openings were inserted into the west wall to reorient the building. The roof was modified to include shallow gable peaks along the west elevation. The interior also was reconfigured during this renovation to provide personnel space and storage. |
