Former Married Quarters, Brock Barracks

The former married quarters at Brock Barracks were built in 1877, designed by Major H.C. Seddon from the War Office, with supervision by Major Flint. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring yellow brick bands for the sills and lintels, moulded brick heads on the ground floor, and stone heads on the first floor. It has ridge stacks with square cluster shafts and a tiled roof.

The quarters have an I-shaped plan with double-depth apartments and are two storeys high. The façade presents a symmetrical arrangement with a 1:7:2:7:1 window range, yellow sill and lintel bands, and a moulded brick band below the window heads. At either end, there are coped cross gables on moulded kneelers, each with triple windows; the upper windows feature a 2-centre arched tympanum with patterned brick infill. The central gables on the front and rear have paired lights, and there are doorways on either side of the front gables, with a porch featuring a hipped roof located in the re-entrant at the left-hand end.

This building is a notable example of a standard design used for Localisation depots, which were part of the Cardwell reforms aimed at redistributing barracks to foster local connections and aid recruitment. It is one of the two most complete surviving depots, alongside Bodmin.
