Constructed by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1915 and operational in 1916, the building housed the wood working department. It was here that rifle stocks were crafted for contracted British Pattern 14 rifles and, later, the U.S. Model 1917 rifles.
Baldwin erected the rifle factory under agreement they would assume control of the buildings after the war to expand their existing locomotive plant.
