==History and architectural features==
Built by the [[United States Marine Corps]] in two sections in 1941 and in 1943, this historic structure was a six-story, orange brick building that was designed in the [[Moderne architecture|Moderne]] style. A one-story, brick addition was built circa 1970. The warehouse has an off-center tower over the entrance, unornamented [[parapet]] and flat roof, long bands of steel windows, and wide loading bays separated by rounded concrete columns. Occupied by the U.S. Marine Corps into the 1960s, it was subsequently used as a vocational training facility, the '''John F. Kennedy Vocational Center''', by the [[School District of Philadelphia]] into the 1980s, and then used for administrative offices and storage.<ref name="arch">{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/ce/SelectWelcome.asp| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} ''Note:'' This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H127362_01H.pdf}}| title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Marine Corps Depot of Supplies, Schuylkill Warehouse| accessdate = 2012-07-03| author =Cynthia Rose Hamilton| format = PDF| date= June 2004}}</ref>
