is neither specific or complete. At an unknown time during 1941,
the Army acquired possession of a parcel on the southeast corner
of the intersection between Magnolia Avenue and Woodside Avenue
in Santee, California. The size of the parcel is unknown. No
records of lease or ownership of this property by the U.S. Government
have been found.
Information pertaining to the military use of the site is not
complete. According to available documentation, several quartermaster
units were encamped at the site. The site was used as a fuel
depot as well. A structure built in,approximately 1915 was used
as a headquarters for the camp (this structure was known as Greenleaf's
Ice Cream Parlor, which then became the Wagon Wheel restaurant
and dance hall, and is currently.known as Mulvaney's Restaurant).
Quartermaster units at the camp were housed in tents. No other
information is available on the construction of other military
improvements.
Disposal information for this site is neither complete or specific.
Limited documentation indicates that the Army terminated use
of the site by October 1943. Most of the site is now occupied
by various commercial establishments.
