Summary

Significance: Building FB-570 is significant as a relatively unmodified example of a Theatre of Operations 700 (T.O. 700) Series Storehouse (Type WH-A-T) built in 1942 as part of the mobilization effort for World War II. The T.O. 700 Series was the final generation of World War II mobilization series; it was preceded by the 700 Series, the 800 Series and the Modified Theatre-of-Operations Series. Building FB-570 functioned as a Quartermaster storehouse in Ft. Baker, one of several forts which contributed to the seacoast defenses of San Francisco Bay. It is a non-contributing feature of Forts Baker, Barry and Cronkhite Historic District, a National Register property. The building is scheduled for demolition.
