Property History: In the 1942 the Army leased 27.8 acres from the Sacramento Northern Railway. The are was used by the Corps of Engineers as a closed storage area for the military supplies. The government constructed 18,051 square feet of shop space. Ten acres of gravel paving was added to the property. A directive dated 20 February 1945 authorized the acquisition of the property in a fee interest, in lieu of leasehold interest. At the end of the war, a military necessity was no longer required; thus the property was surplused 31 July 1947 and the lease cancelled defective 31 October 1947. Copies of the lease, a yard plans for the building and lease cancellation could not be found.
