SC Strong, a non-profit program with the mission to rehab criminals and substance abusers, fully restored Quarters C on the former Charleston Navy Base. Once a home for a navy officer's family, the structure had become dilapidated from sitting vacant since the base closure in 1996. As part of their rehab program, SC Strong took on the task to restore the home to its original beauty.
An unveiling event was held the evening of October 16, 2013.

Nike Missile Base DF-50 was built in 1959 in Johnson County, Texas south of the Dallas and Fort Worth metro area near Alvarado. The base was one of four air defense bases constructed during the Cold War era to defend the Dallas-Fort Worth area (DF) in the event of Soviet aircraft attacks. The Dallas-Fort Worth area was vital to United States security because of the presence of defense industries and Carswell Air Force Base, home to strategic Bomb Groups and Wings. Nike Missile Base DF-50 was decommission in 1969.
The structure was the remains of a radar support stand at the former Integrated Fire Control Site of Nike Missile Base DF-50. The fence is of more recent vintage.

On an overcast Sunday afternoon Claudia and I headed out to the Marin Headlands for the Headland Center for the Arts Summer Open House (always fun.) After touring the studios and a tasty lunch in the HCA galley we headed out to take some photographs. We elected to visit Batteries Smith-Guthrie and O’Rorke, Endicott-era gun emplacements on the coastal ridge at the southern end of Rodeo Beach. Battery Smith-Guthrie once boasted four six-inch, rapid-fire guns on barbette mounts while Battery O’Rorke had four three-inch guns. Both defended minefields north of the Golden Gate. Winds were light for this time of year at around 10-12 MPH. The Sutton Flowform 30 proved adequate for my new Canon EOS-M cradle.
I have photographed these batteries before and given the dull overcast I did not expect much new out of this session. The highlight for me was a series of very low level KAP shots (< 6 feet high) taken at Battery O’Rorke just after I launched the cradle following a few adjustments. Like many of the other Endicott-period batteries, Battery O’Rorke is slowly returning to the earth. In this low level series your can see the blast apron slightly separating from its adjacent concrete paving with a neat line of opportunistic grass accenting the gap. I have read in old c. 1890’s reports the mention of “granolithing,” a form of concrete pour that mixes cement with crushed granite aggregate. These photographs have me wondering if the smoother surface is granolith.
It is pleasant spending time around Batteries Smith-Guthrie and O’Rorke. They command sweeping views of the northern approach to the Golden Gate – an asset for Sunday picnics as well as harbor defense. The kite flying was fun and the session yielded some useable photographs. Altogether an afternoon well spent.
