View of the AEC Germantown building under construction in 1956-1957, looking north. The site was located in farm country at the intersection of US. Route 240, now Interstate 270, (that runs from the upper left to the right) and MD Route 118 (Germantown Road). Construction activities were confined primarliy to the center of the farm site and did not interfere substantially with the wooded areas around the periphery. This allowed the forest that now contains the Seaborg Trail to survive intact. |
