Red brick facade, two arched openings side by side. The left is a narrow door, its heavy steel surface oxidised to a deep verdigris green, riveted studs running its full height. The right is a wider hatch, double doors sealed shut with a white steel security bar and chain. Pale sandstone voussoirs fan across both arches. Mortar lines are clean, the brickwork intact. Concrete apron at the base, stained and cracked.

The series
Newington Armory
The Newington Armory operated as a Royal Australian Navy munitions depot from 1897 until decommissioning in 1999. Sandstone and brick magazines line the Parramatta River foreshore, their walls a metre thick in places, engineered to contain the force of an accidental detonation. The site now sits within Sydney Olympic Park, its original stores largely intact, paint peeling from heavy timber doors, river light filtering through narrow vents cut into stone.
