HISTORY: a garrison was based at the Citadel from the C17. The
old quarters were rebuilt under the Barracks Act of 1890, and
this is, with the Peninsula barracks in Winchester, a rare
example of an architect-designed barracks. Schools were
introduced into barracks from the 1840s, for soldiers and
their children, and this imposing example forms an important
functional component of the complete barracks. Part of a
complete barracks within the fine C17 fort.
