A bit of history on this DEW Line Site:
There are 47 photos in the Linc, including one of a russian bomber checking out the site.

Cool. 
Does it still have its generators, etc? Is this sale for just the White Alice site, or does it include the long range radar on the mountain top? I'm guessing just the WACS.
I've been to at least a 1/2 dozen White Alice sites. The ones I remember of the top of my head are Indian Mountain, Fort Yukon, Tatalina, and Pedro Dome (which doesn't really count 'cause it's so close to Squarebanks).

Notice the last entry on this LOG:
View attachment Tin City AFS.doc
"Accident – A weasel overturned on the way to Wales and shook up the occupants. Sgt. McCarter was the worst injured, but is believed to be not seriously hurt.(1958)"
This was an areal tram that was built to service the upper antenna site.

I don't know the details, but I would guess that this building comes with it, generators and all. It probably would be pohibitive to own due to having to fly everything in and out, including fuel. From my experience here on the slope, a camp that size would probably use between 600 and 2000 gallons of fuel a day. but you could always call up Daniel, the seller, and ask him.
Who knows, perhaps the lift could be made to run and the place turned into a ski area.
