Charleston Port Terminal

Description:

Photograph of a brick building located beside the railroad tracks running through the Ordnance Depot at the Charleston Port Terminal. The building has five doors facing the tracks and is marked with a white sign "I-7". Two other buildings are visible in the background.

In 1918 the United States Government requisitioned 2000 acres located between North Charleston and the mouth of Goose Creek (approximately 15 miles north of the Charleston Harbor) for the Charleston Army Depot. The quartermaster facility along with the Ordnance Depot and the Animal Embarkation Depot formed what would officially be titled the Charleston Port Terminal but called the "Army Base Terminal" by locals.
