Savanna Army Depot

The Old Theater

Opened in 1918 and closed in 2000. After WWI warehouses were built to store ammunition. Barracks were built for employees. Because of WWII employment jumped from 143 in 1939 to 7,195 in 1942. Here is a link with more information about the Army Depot. Very interesting reading.
