Notes
  • Significance: Dutch Harbor and Fort Mears Naval Operating Base served as the main base for the American presence in the Alutian Islands during World War II and received the most serious air attack on North America during the war. Dutch Harbor was an important north Pacific stopover in the lend-lease program with the Soviet Union. The Office of the Quartermaster General constructed the buildings, which were utilitarian in design, with variations to suit the Aleutian climate and terrain. Predominantly built during the period 1941 through 1944, the naval operating base was decommissioned in 1947. Fort Mears was declared surplus in 1952.
