History
editDesigned by architect David Ewart,[2] Barrack Green Armoury was constructed from 1911 to 1912.[3] Sam Hughes, the then-Minister of Militia and Defence, led an enhancement project leading to the armoury's construction.[1]
On May 9, 1991, Barrack Green Armoury was recognized as a Federal Heritage Building.[3] During the 2009 swine flu pandemic, Barrack Green Armoury was used by the Horizon Health Network as a temporary clinic.[4] The armoury has a historic gun, which was dedicated during a ceremony in 2011.[5] In 2018, the armoury received reports of sexual harassment against a reservist who was stationed there from 2014 to 2015.[6][7][8]
