A 'site file' titled "General Mitchell Airport, Air Reserve Station" exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Previously surveyed in 2007. 2007- Structure 309 is located at 300 East College Avenue on the south side of East 7th Avenue at General Mitchell IAP ARS in the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. It is located in the Petroleum, Oil & Lubricants (POL) Area. It consists of a ribbed metal gable-shaped canopy supported by four metal posts. An intermediate slab is located at the center of the posts and supports two rectangular objects related to fuel dispensing. Fuel pumps are located at the ground level and are equipped with apparatus to dispense fuel to fuel trucks. Structure 309 was initially constructed in 1956 as the Jet Fuel Fill Stand, Truck for the US Air Force Reserve (AFRES) installation at General Billy Mitchell Field, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was designed by Gates Weiss & Kramer, a Milwaukee-based firm for the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Milwaukee District, the branch of the military that typically oversaw design and construction of military installations. As described in the Historic Building Inventory and Evaluation, General Mitchell International Airport Air Reserve Station prepared for the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) in 2007, Structure 309 has played a standard role in the history of the installation which has been home to the 440th Airlift Wing (AW) since 1957, a unit of AFRES dedicated to providing air transport and airlift for deploying troops, cargo, and humanitarian aid in support of national policy. Structure 309 has fulfilled a fuel pumping function in the POL Area for the 440th AW over time. 2024: Some mechanical components have been removed, but this structure otherwise appears unchanged since it was last inventoried. Its function, design and materials are not distinctive or unique to military stations. Specific or significant events associated with the structure have not been identified.
