Description
The Peninsula Barracks Green Jackets Headquarters and Museum is a building constructed between 1899 and 1904 by E. Ingress Bell. It serves as a barracks cookhouse and mobilisation stores. The structure is made of Flemish bond red brick with Portland stone dressings and features a slate roof with stone coping on the pedimental gable ends and a stone parapet. It has a long rectangular plan and is designed in a classical style, standing two storeys tall.
The east front is symmetrical with a layout of five bays, one bay, five bays, and one bay. The first-floor end windows have been converted into doorways with fire escape stairs. The façade includes a stone band and rusticated quoins, with the centre bay featuring rusticated quoins on the ground floor, pilasters above, a pediment, and a semi-circular doorway with a fanlight. The windows are 16-pane sashes, with cambered arches on the ground floor. Similar windows are found at the rear, although the first floor there is blind. The interior has not been inspected.
