Statement of Significance

The former Preston Salvation Army Barracks is of regional historical and architectural significance. It was built in 1891 at a key stage in the Army's development when it turned its attention from simply saving souls to public welfare. It was the first suburban hall to use this fully castellated style from the design of Army architect Brigadier Saunders and became the prototype of the Salvation Army training college.
