Significance: Buildings 211, 310, 409, 508, 606, 704, and 803 are contributing elements 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. Buildings 211, 310, 409, 508, 606, 704, and 803 were directly related to the palletized cargo handling operation and other supply functions; it was one of seven identical transit sheds along the wharf, serving as key links for cargo in transit between river vessels and the warehouses beyond, and vice-versa.
