Significance: Constructed as an artillery range, Building 316 is associated with the large-scale expansion of Frankford Arsenal, as the U.S. Army's principal supplier of ammunition during the United States' entry into World War I. The building's original use as a roofless firing range is linked to the extensive testing activities conducted at the arsenal.
