Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado

Lowry is a closed Air Force base in suburban Denver that is being redeveloped into a network of businesses, schools, and new urbanist housing developments. It is also home to the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. The base was closed by BRAC in 1994, and buildings began being demolished in 1996. Lowry started out in WWII, and was a bomber base for a few years after the war. In 1958, it became the first Titan 1 ICBM base, and six launch complexes were built in an 18-mile radius around Lowry, each with a massive underground launch facility and three missile silos. The Titan 1 missile program was cancelled in 1965.
