Notes
  • Significance: The S.C.R. 296 Station 5 Transmitter Building Foundation is important for its supporting role in the seacoast defenses of the San Francisco Bay. Station 5 supported the S.C.R. 296, a highly sensitive, precision fire-control radar that quickly and accurately determined the range and azimuth (horizontal angular distance) of a ship and transmitted this information to a battery's gun pointer dials. This structure is a contributing element to the Forts Baker, Barry and Cronkhite National Register Historic District
  • Survey number: HABS CA-2794-A
  • Building/structure dates: 1943 Initial Construction
