The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Los Alamos Field Office (Field Office) proposes to assess, stabilize, and eventually restore a Manhattan Project-era guard shack to its original wartime condition. TA-8-172, a portable building, is a Manhattan Project National Historical Park property located in Technical Area (TA) 8 at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). In compliance with Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, LANL’s cultural resources staff completed the evaluation of Building TA-8- 172 for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (Register). A LANL historic building inventory form for the guard shack is included in Appendix A. The Field Office has determined that Building TA-8-172 is Register-eligible under Criteria A, B and C based on the findings in this assessment report. The Field Office is requesting concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer for TA- 8-172. The guard station will undergo a full condition assessment, and rehabilitation and repairs. These undertakings will receive future documentation and consultation.
