Battle Mountain Housing, Nevada. August 1955

While stationed at CAA Battle Mountain, Nevada, John Keith and family resided in this CAA furnished housing about 1955-1956. The houses, at that time were in Battle Mountain, actually on the eastern edge of town, about a 10 minute walk to the elementary school I attended, which was more or less in the middle of town.

Battle Mountain, Nevada. August 2007

A longtime local resident said these old airway radio housing units were originally located in Buffalo Valley, Humbolt County, and possibly Beowawe or Lovelock, Nevada.

At some point they were transported to their current location (as of 2007) in Battle Mountain, Nevada. The unit on the far left came from Buffalo Valley Airway Radio Station and can be seen in this 1942 photo (left side).  As of 2007 the FAA still owned this house and has utilized it as an office for years.
