II

Cavalry barracks, now apartment block. 1795, but rebuilt 1801 after a fire (RCHME); adapted to domestic use late C20. Brickwork, rendered and scribed on SE and SW sides, hipped slate roof. EXTERIOR: Three storeys, but with a basement to five NW bays; the main entrance front to the NE has slightly stepped ends, and is in 5+8+5 bays. All windows are 12-pane sashes to fine brick voussoirs and stone sills, and a continuous plain sill band at first floor. In bays 3, 8, 11 & 16 is a wide, recessed panel to a brick arch containing a C20 six-panel door with side lights. The NW return has similar fenestration, plus a further sash in three bays to the basement, which has a small area enclosed by a painted brick retaining wall; at the ground floor the central opening is in a recessed arch, as though for a door. There are no stacks. The long SW front is in seventeen bays (not eighteen, as the far side), and without breaks, eight square oriels have been added to the first floor, and there is a C20 glazed, gabled porch in the third bay; to the left of this is the basement area. The short return to Barrack Road is in three bays, as the opposite end, but rendered, and without basement. INTERIOR: not inspected.

HISTORICAL NOTE: this block, when rebuilt in 1801 for infantrymen, accommodated 17 officers and 270 men. After a period of disuse the building has been adapted for current use, and the value of the work is recognised by the Weymouth Civic Society accolade and plaque. Red Barracks formed part of a chain of one-troop cavalry stations along the south coast, planned by the Barrack Master, General Col. Delancey. Part of an externally complete group. (RCHME: Dorset: South-East: London: 1970-: 341).
