A longtime local resident said these old airway radio housing units were originally located in Buffalo Valley, Humbolt County, and possibly Beowawe or Lovelock, Nevada.
At some point they were transported to their current location (as of 2007) in Battle Mountain, Nevada.

The houses, at that time were in Battle Mountain, actually on the eastern edge of town, about a 10 minute walk to the elementary school I attended, which was more or less in the middle of town.
