Higher Barracks, Military residential complex in Exeter, England
The Higher Barracks features Georgian architectural elements with a central quadrangle, officers' quarters, and a parade ground spread across the Howell Road site.
Built in 1794 during the French Revolution period, the barracks provided accommodation for 15 officers, 180 soldiers, and maintained facilities for 202 horses.
The barracks grounds became a center for military ceremonies, with regimental bands performing concerts for local residents during Sunday evenings.
The Grade II listed building underwent transformation in 1998 when Barratt Developments converted the former military installation into residential housing units.
During World War II, the United States 500th Medical Collecting Company utilized the facility while preparing for the Normandy landings in 1944.
