BUILDING NO. 152 STABLE DETACHMENT (CURRENT MUSEUM)

Note, question: Where was building 152 originally located? The earliest buildings sheet located at the POM Archives give it a designation as "magazine".

DLIFLC & POM

This is the earliest type of building form found at the POM archives and does not have any official form number printed on the sheet as later forms have. I believe that the above building no. 118 which according to this building sheet was built in August 14, 1908. I believe this building was moved from a different location to the current location of the Presidio museum today. I have located paperwork showing the building numbers over the years have been: 118, 152, and current number of 113. According to this building sheet it was original used as a "magazine". Hand written notes also state the following: (8/10/29) artillery stable detachment, quarters for stable detachment and that the designation changed was made on 8/8/27. DLIFLC & POM
