Naval Supply Annex Stockton, Fire Station, Southwest corner of Cavanagh Avenue & Embarcadero, Stockton, San Joaquin County, CA

Significance: Building 705 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 705 is not directly related to the palletized supply functions. It was, however, an important support building for the depot, supplying fire protection for the warehouse section of the supply annex.
