Three harness stores (Buildings 10, 12 and 15) built as part of a major development of the site in 1914. The buildings are similar in internal layout to the earlier harness stores, arranged as open plan with timber casing around the walls and a racking system for storing harnesses. Heating was by a single stove. The walls are of brick, partly clad with tongue and grooved boarding inside. Buildings 12 and 15 remains as built and are used as visiting unit stores. Building 10 has been extended to create a quarters building with an L-shaped plan form. Map object based on this source.
