Quartermaster, Former military warehouse on Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, US.
The Quartermaster building features substantial storage spaces, large loading areas, and industrial architecture designed for efficient military supply management on Alcatraz Island.
The structure served as a central storage facility during Alcatraz's transformation from a military fortress to a federal prison throughout the early twentieth century.
The warehouse represents the industrial maritime heritage of San Francisco Bay, reflecting the military and correctional institution operations of Alcatraz Island.
Visitors access the Quartermaster building through regular ferry services departing from Pier 33 in San Francisco, with advance reservations recommended for tours.
The building's position on Alcatraz provides views of San Francisco's skyline while maintaining original architectural elements from its time as a military supply center.
