Fredericton Military Compound
This building is one of four remaining structures of the British establishment which housed the garrison at Fredericton from 1784 until the withdrawal of Imperial troops in 1869. Occupying the area between York and Regent Streets, the Compound enclosed over fifty buildings. The Soldiers' Stone Barracks (1826), Guard House (1828), Militia Arms Store (1832) and Officers' Quarters (1840 and 1853) survive as reminders of an important military establishment and its contribution to the early character and development of New Brunswick.
Complexe-Militaire-de-Frédéricton
Ce bâtiment est l'un des quatre ouvrages encore en existence dans ce complexe militaire britannique, où logea la garnison de Frédéricton de 1784 jusqu'au retrait des troupes impériales en 1869. Situé entre les rues York et Regent, le camp comprenait plus de cinquante bâtiments. La caserne de pierre (1826), le corps de garde (1828), le dépôt d'armes (1832) et le logement des officiers (1840 et 1853) sont les vestiges de l'important poste militaire qui a influé sur les débuts du Nouveau-Brunswick et sur son évolution.
