@PrairiePast I'm still digging trying to find more. I have a book about the history of Stockholm that was written by, iirc, a settler or one of their kids, written in 1959.

What would one have to do to purchase this old building and renovate into a small cabin or cottage i think it's cool with history

I suppose if you contacted the owner. Fixing the stone issues would be costly which is why many Fieldstone buildings are abandoned.

Tracks are all gone, or they've been cemented over - I couldn't discern. Interesting that roller press in the other room: if that's original equipment I guess they'd use that to replace boiler plates, likely having all the gear needed to rebuild steam locomotives. Thanks for exploring this place, and thanks for posting!

Loved your video. There is also one in our area of SE Sask ,but not as big. Can you imagine not only building it, but living in it, lucky family. I remember the remains of my grand parents first house,on the land where we now live, is all that remained was a pile of sod,or mound of black dirt,but our family is still farming after 125 years.

Fantastic bit of history, it’s a shame our DND has been put on the back burner with budget cuts and closing bases across this great nation of ours . The new owners could profit from this by having tours or rent it out to the movie industry!

Even though its abandoned it's still owned by someone, usually the person who farms the land around it.

A remnant of the Cold War. The collapse of the Soviet Union signaled the start of the demise of these installations. All of the gap fillers are gone but some of the power and data processing buildings still exist repurposed by private owners. Some of the long-range radar sites still exist, repurposed for other uses but many are simply abandoned and decaying. There are a scant few joint use sites still active, but the direction centers they reported to no longer exist even though the blockhouse may still stand but repurposed. The old frequency diversified systems are long gone, replaced mostly with ARSR systems. My last duty station where I was an ECCM tech is now owned by the Lutheran Church and is used as a retreat, you can visit it and see the place as long as you go by the old orderly room and ask permission., this was Osceola AFS in Osceola Wisconsin.

Yes, originally the white dome would have been on top of the radar tour. There is still one in place at the Alsask site. It's in a sad state these days but there are historic photo's online of what it was like.
