The Brooklyn Navy Yard's eleven-story supply storehouse (Building 3), located east of Building 92, was the first reinforced-concrete building constructed at the yard.
Built by Turner Construction in the Neo-Classical style, it contains a one-story base and one-story attic with nine stories in between.
A loading platform, covered by a flat metal canopy, encircles the building's base, and contains loading dock entries at various points.
There were also formerly rail sidings on the west and north sides of the building.
The nine stories above the base contain columns of wide rectangular windows, organized into "bays".
Each bay is separated by concrete piers, and each window contains a concrete still below it.
There are cornices at the top of the tenth and eleventh floors.
On the eleventh floor, each bay contains triple-windows, and there are stair and elevator bulkhead structures, as well as skylights.
The structure contained 712,000 square feet (66,100 m²) of floor space when first built.

The federal government had commissioned Turner Construction by chance, when government officials raided Turner's factory based on a report of German guns being manufactured, and found Turner manufacturing engine foundations instead.
A contract for Building 3's construction was made in April 1917.
Work began four days after the contract was signed.
The modification to 11 stories was made partway through the construction progress.
Construction progressed at a pace of one story per week, aided by the proximity of the Navy Yard's railroad system, via which materials could be delivered.
The structure was finished by September at a cost of $1.2 million, and the Navy moved into the structure on October 1, 1917.
The attic contained the commandant's, yard captain's, and manager's offices.
Building 3 was outfitted with radio and radar laboratories during World War II, and footbridges were constructed to Buildings 5 and 77, although both footbridges have since been demolished.
The roof of Building 3 now contains a rooftop farm run by Brooklyn Grange, and the rest of the building is occupied by various industrial and commercial tenants.
