This was the old airbase housing for officer and senior enlisted (NATO and Turkish Air Forces). Many of these houses were built in the 1950's during the construction of the airbase. Follow a 1991 (?) earthquake in the region, many of these houses suffered structural damage, were considered unsafe, and were marked for demolition. In 1992 thru 94, a number of the less damaged houses were used to house aircrews and groundcrew personnel supporting Operation Northern Watch (Iraq). When new temporary housing and billeting structures were complete in 1995, the demolition began on the entire housing tract.
