Notes
  • Significance: From its establishment in 1917 as a military aviation school, until its closure on September 30, 1993, Chanute AFB has served almost continuously as a technical training center for the United States Air Force. As one of the oldest military installations in the Air Force inventory, Chanute AFB has played an important role in the development of the American air defense system. Since its construction, the area of the Chanute AFB Historic District has served as the installation's administrative core. The design and construction of the buildings and structures within the District reflect the extraordinary growth of the installation just prior to and during the early years of World War II. It was during that period that the base was rapidly transformed from a collection of neglected, wooden, World War I-era buildings into the permanent brick and steel features that remain as the Chanute AFB Historic District.
