Description
The Former Weedon Barracks, Storehouse Number 17 is a Grade II* listed warehouse built in 1902. It features a brick construction with an iron frame and a hipped slate roof. The building stands three stories tall and has a twelve-window range. The ground and first floors have round-arched windows, while the second floor has segmental-headed windows. Brick pilaster strips separate the bays and extend to the window heads on the second floor. A string course is located at the first-floor level, positioned between the pilaster strips, with a moulded brick string above each upper floor window. The south elevation has a gable over two central bays, each containing loading entries on the first and second floors. The side elevations are three bays wide and topped with a brick parapet.
Inside, the structure boasts a heavy iron framework, with rivetted iron girders and joists supported by cruciform iron columns. It served as a clothing depot until 1921. This building is notable as the most impressive remnant of the additions made to the Storehouse Enclosure after the 1870s, constructed in response to the reviews of army logistics following the Boer War, emphasizing the need for adequate supplies for volunteer forces.
