The barracks was begun in 1843 and opened in 1845. The first phase of buildings, which included this range, was probably built by Colonel Ord, the Government Royal Engineer, and was designed to accommodate a cavalry regiment’ it was also used by some infantry units and was variously known as Cavalry Barracks and Artillery Barracks. Renamed Raglan Barracks in 1963 when, following conversion, it became home to the Monmouthshire Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Association.
Usk House was built as the home for the Adjutant.
Symmetrical 2-storey, 3-bay front built of coursed and carefully cut local rubble with ‘sparrow-picked’ plinth and freestone dressings all in the manner of the original phase of building. Slate roof with wide boarded eaves; chimney stacks removed. 6 and 12-pane sashes; modern panelled door. Gable ends have pediment treatment. Modern windows to rear and tall stone gate piers.
