08/07/98 Sergeants' Quarters
GV II
Married quarters and sergeants' quarters at fort. 1895-1900,
probably by T Rogers Kitsell, architect for the War Office.
Dressed Plymouth limestone brought to course, rendered at
rear; dry slate roof with 4 cross wing roofs, all with coped
gables; wide roof dormers, in pairs between the cross wings;
dressed stone axial stacks with moulded entablature.
PLAN: long rectangular double-depth plan plus 4 cross wings
projecting at the front.
EXTERIOR: 3-storey cross wings and 2 storeys (part over
basements) plus attics; the overall 12-window range front
consisting of 4 symmetrical 3-bay fronts each with a central
projecting cross wing as entrance porch. The cross wings have
3-light mullioned windows, the other windows are horned
sashes. The 4-centred arched doorways small have flanking
sidelights.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORY: a garrison was based at the Citadel from the late
C17. The old quarters were rebuilt under the 1890 Barracks
Act, and they are, with the Peninsula barracks in Winchester,
a rare example of an architect-designed barracks. Married
quarters were included in barracks from the 1860s, but this
is, with those at Hounslow in Greater London, a good example
forming part of a complete complex.
