The United States acquired approximately 0.17 acre fee on 13 June 1945 by purchase. The Navy used the Naval Mine Testing Facility to store, test and distribute mines. No structures were built by the Navy at the site. At the time the Navy acquired the land, a two-story wood frame building was situated upon the land and occupies most of the lot. It is not known whether the site was under the control of anyone other than DOD during the period of DOD use. The Navy reported 0.17 acre fee excess to the War Assets Administration (WAA) prior to November 1948. The WAA conveyed approximately 0.17 acre fee to the Town of Provincetown on 22 November 1948. The deed reserved to the United States all uranium, thorium, and other materials determined to be essential to the production of fissionable material, together with the right to mine and remove the same. The deed required the town for twenty five years to continuously use the premises for a technical or trade school. For a period of twenty-five years, the town was required to file semi-annual reports with the WAA. The town could not to dispose of the premises for twenty-five years without written approval of the WAA. In the event of a breach of any condition by the town, all right, title, and interest to the premises would revert to the United States at its option. The town could secure abrogation of the conditions by making payment to the United States and obtaining approval from the WAA. The deed contained a recapture clause in the event of a national emergency. The deed did not contain a restoration provision. Sometime during the mid 1970's the site was conveyed by the town to a private commercial interest. The site is currently owned by Dwyer Family Realty Trust and is curren (Source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) « see less
