Naval Supply Annex Stockton, Cafeteria, Fyffe Avenue between James & Boone Drives, Stockton, San Joaquin County, CA

Significance: Building 217A is a contributing element of the Naval Supply Annex Stockton Historic District. The historic district was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A and C, for its role in supplying the fleet during World War II and as an important example of new warehouse design developed during World War II. Specifically, Naval Supply Annex Stockton was the first Navy supply depot to be built entirely to accommodate palletized cargo. Building 217A is not directly related to the palletized cargo handling operation or other supply functions. It was built as a cafeteria for the civilian employees at the annex; it has since been adapted as a recreational building.
