Junior ranks mess. 1898-1900, by T Rogers Kitsell, architect
to the War Office. Plymouth limestone brought to course; dry
slate roofs with coped gable ends; axial stone stack towards
right and larger gable stack to taller front part of rear
wing, both with moulded entablature. Overall L-shaped plan
plus C20 extension at rear.
EXTERIOR: single storey except for rear wing which is 2
storeys; 5:1:2-bay front. Tall windows on left with eaves
transoms and rising above as stone gabled dormers with
alternate round and plain gables. Wide rusticated round-arched
doorway right of this and slightly-projecting front gable end
of cross wing at far right with gable ventilator over pair of
sash windows. All original windows with glazing bars.
Right-hand return has entrance porch on left, then a 2-bay
open round-arched arcade to 2-storey part which has projecting
gable end at far right.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORY: a garrison had been based at the Citadel since the
late C17. The old quarters were rebuilt under the 1890
Barracks Act and it is, with the Peninsula barracks in
Winchester, a rare example of an architect-designed barracks.
Junior messes were part of the improvements made to late C19
barracks, and this is a rare example.
