The Warehouse where Stanford went to look for a job is the Army Reserve Depot, built 1918-1919, finished in February of 1919. It was apparently located in Rotterdam. Below is some information about it, taken from a U.S. government publication, Real Estate: Survey of Real Estate Owned or Controlled by War Department, Hearings Before a Special Subcommittee of the Committee on Military Affairs: House of Representatives, published in 1921.

A historical site, The New York State Military Museum, provides more information about what happened to the Depot in later years:

The depot was constructed in 1918 and served the Army during the later months of WW1. After the war it was used as a supply depot for 55 Civilian Conservation Corps Camps. In 1941 the depot was expanded and renamed Service Forces Depot. Mostly the depot shipped motor vehicles to the Port of New York. At its peak it employed 4000 people. Late in WW2 it was renamed again to General Depot. From January 1948 to March 1949 it was a processing station for war dead. In the post war years it was again renamed Army Depot. Expanded again during the Korean War. The depot continued operations for a number of years after Korea and then was closed.
