Significance: Buildings 640, 643, 645, 646, and 649 are considered significant for their association with Air Force history in northern California, and with World War II actions in the Pacific Theater. The WAF Hill barracks are so named because of the 1950s and 1960s occupation of this group by the Women's Air Force. The barracks are arranged around the crest of a hilltop with a central drive and cul-de-sac. Other buildings in this group are a mess hall and club, and an administrative office. For the earlier airmen as well as the WAFs, this group of buildings functioned as a self-contained section of the base. Facility No. 646, modified with a sun deck, has a large kitchen and dining area and was used as a women's officer's club, the only one on base.
