The Lumber Storage Shed, constructed in 1918-1919 in the wake of World War I, is one of the last surviving service facilities at the Navy Yard. Originally composed of two open-air concrete structures set parallel to each other, the separate components were connected by a roof in 1953 and later enclosed by corrugated metal walls. The structure has reinforced concrete skeletons that afforded large open spaces to store drying lumber laid on dozens of wood sills that ran the full length of the building from north to south, as seen in the top right image.
