The Barracks were on the site of the residential area now bounded by Wellington Parade, Vale Street and Hoddle Street. The Barracks were decommissioned in 1881, when the site was subdivided and sold to private buyers.
The hospital was not built on the site proposed, but on what is now the corner of Vale Street and Berry Street. It bacame the Berry Street Foundling home after the sale of the land.
The plans were drawn by Captain Standish, chief commissioner of police.
Two of the plans identify the structures on the site.
