The sign reads:
"Presidio of Monterey Museum
Most of the wooden buildings on Presidio Hill below, the Defense
Language Institute complex were constructed from 1902 to 1906
by the 15th Infantry under the direction of Army Captain E.H. Plummer.
The museum building was originally the post's magazine for the
storage of ammunition and was constructed of corrugated metal. A
plaster facade was added when the museum moved into this structure
in 1967. This remodelling added a quality of colonial Monterey
architecture to the building. This interior still contains the original
wall cabinets for rifle-storage, now glassed over to serve as display
cases."
