HMCS Stone Frigate, Federal heritage building at Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, Canada.
The Stone Frigate rises as a three-story limestone structure with symmetrical windows and a low-pitched hipped roof overlooking Lake Ontario.
Built between 1819 and 1824 under architect Archibald Fraser's supervision, the building stored naval equipment for British fleets following the War of 1812.
The building houses 1 Squadron of the Royal Military College, where students refer to their residence as the Stone Frigate Military Academy.
The Stone Frigate underwent extensive renovations in 2003, improving structural elements, interior stone walls, mechanical systems, and expanding the building's space.
Pipe Major Donald M. Carrigan created a musical composition titled Stone Frigate Reel in 1983 to honor the building's naval heritage.
