Warrant Officer's Quarters

The following character-defining elements of the Warrant Officer’s Quarters should be respected, for example:

Its late Victorian functional design and good quality materials and craftsmanship such as:

-The simple, two-storey gable-fronted, rectangular massing of the structure.

-Its large brick chimneystack corbelled out at the top, and the attached single-storey extension containing a bathroom to the rear.

-The red brick walls, the white painted date stone centred in the entrance gable, and the continuous projecting base, just below sill height.

-The painted wood roof trim including barge boards, fascia boards and soffits, and also the doors' sash windows and their surrounds.

-The arrangement of the doors and wooden four over four-sash windows.

-The original configuration with respect to halls and staircases and original internal fixtures such as balustrades, fireplaces, finishes and trim, and doors.

-The attached brick enclosure.

The manner in which the Warrant Officer’s Quarters reinforces the present character of the Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site as evidenced by:

-Its role as a central element in the ensemble of defence structures and support buildings, which comprise the fort.

-Its contribution to the unity, integrity and overall 1890s design character of the fort due to its scale, form, style and finishes.

-Its ongoing relationship to the surrounding landscape and turfed open space, the batteries and the Second World War hut to the north.
