Fun reading-
L - Hooes Rd and VA 611 ((P) District of Columbia minimum security prison)
- Launcher Area - TerraServer from the TerraServants (12/04)
[{Kastner, D} {Feb. 2006} The Curators of the Cold War Musem have officially obtained permission to convert the launch/magazine area of W-64 into the Cold War Museum. The entire Lorton federal area, which used to be a maximum security prison for the District, is being razed and converted into a housing development.

A photo of the IFC facility is at the bottom of this PDF:

Looking at satellite imagery, it looks like they have torn down the radomes, but some of the original buildings look intact. My guess is the IFC will be completely razed for the new development. The real estate market in Northern Virginia is really hot... ]
[{Brown, R} {Sept. 2000} ... site has not been completely obliterated. There appears to be 2 remaining barracks buildings and the magazine/elevators may still be there. Newer buildings were built around the site. The site is enclosed in razor-wire fencing since it is now a former minimum security prison. The launcher area was used as a juvenile detention center. GSA (General Services Admin) has possesion of the property and they patrol it frequently. ]
[{Morales, R} Sept '99 - ... W-64, Lorton, VA was demolished about 2months ago as part of the on-going shutdown and demolition of the Lorton prison facility. ...]

Nike Ajax, Hercules and Zeus ADA (Air Defense Artillery) missiles used to shoot down Russian bombers. Here's the funny part:


Until recently, no Soviet-era bomber could reach the United States and return to the Motherland. So they had a one-way ticket, and a warm reception upon arrival. Bombs away!

 

Yep, I didn't take pics of the buildings that remain, but the sign was pretty cool.

 

Must be a boring picture, I shoulda found some real missiles.

 

I didn't realize there were so many around our area<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/norcal/msgs/68845.phtml">xpost link</a></li></ul>

 

I prefer Adidas missles.
