The Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot, now known as the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support, was founded as the Schuylkill Arsenal in 1799.

The Schuylkill Arsenal was built in 1800 to function as a quartermaster and provide the U.S. military with supplies.

The functions of the Quartermaster Depot were all moved to West Oregon Avenue & South 22nd Street In 1965 the operation was reorganized into the Defense Personnel Support Center.

The buildings are of varying heights and sizes, but are consistently clad in tan or brown brick and are in the Art Deco-style.

[8][9] The Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot was then officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places later in 2010.
