Barrack Block (Building 61), Jellalabad Barracks

The Barrack Block (Building 61) at Jellalabad Barracks in Tidworth is a two-storey brick structure built around 1905. It features rubbed brick dressings, brick ridge stacks, and a slate roof. The building has a single-depth plan and includes two attached front towers that house non-commissioned officer (NCO) rooms and storage areas.

The exterior displays a symmetrical arrangement with a total of 28 windows divided into four sections, each featuring a central double doorway with a boarded door and segmental-arched paired 2/2-pane sash windows with overlights. A full-length cast-iron verandah spans two storeys and includes first-floor railings with diagonal bars. The pairs of sections are complemented by two-storey square storage towers, which are connected by bridges to the first floor above external dogleg stairs. Each floor of the towers has two rear 6/6-pane sash windows. The rear of the building includes two ablution blocks.

While the interior was not inspected, it is noted to have entrances leading to through passages that connect the barrack rooms.

Historically, Tidworth was established after the army acquired Salisbury Plain for large-scale training exercises. This barrack block is one of four identical double company blocks, each containing six 12-man rooms, arranged symmetrically as part of a battalion unit within Tidworth Barracks. It is recognized as an important example of standardized barracks design.
