History

 

Located at 6th and Channel Streets in the Mission Bay District of San Francisco, little is known about this World War II Quartermaster Corps storage and distribution facility. It does not appear in available Army and 9th Service Command stations lists. The Inventoy of War Department Owned, Sponsored and Leased Facilities dated 31 December 1945 indicated that the depot was one of the California Quartermaster Depot's sub-depots.
