Description
The Museum at Brecon Barracks is a two-storey building constructed of red brick, topped with a slate roof that features projecting eaves. It has three red brick chimneys located at the eaves. The entrance front is distinguished by a pedimented gable and consists of three bays. The side elevation facing the Parade Ground has nine windows, with 12-pane hornless sash windows on the first floor. On the ground floor, there are blind flat-headed windows in the end bays, with the right bay containing a later doorway. The other bays originally had round-headed small-pane sash windows, but two of these have been blocked, and one has been converted into a doorway.
