Notes: l. From the maps and photos, it would appear that there was a smaller
fresh water pump house built originally at the site of Building 40
(~1904-1917). With the advent of WW I and the influx ofrecruits that
it brought, it appears that the original building "{_as razed and a larger
one built in its place with no change of designator.
2. From about 1943 to 1945, after remodeling as the Commissary store,
the number was changed to Building 215. For some reason, it was
then changed back to Building 40. It is presently listed as Building 40.
