About Building D83
Building D83 is one of 40 Recognized Federal Heritage Buildings in Esquimalt. Its record dates Building D83 to 1941–1942.
Classically inspired, Building D83 is a large, symmetrical, three-storey brick structure featuring brick pilasters that divide the elevations into multiple bays, broad pilasters and stepped parapets at the corners of the building, decorative brick detailing, and a concrete base. Building D83 is part of a grouping of historic warehouses and storage buildings clustered near the waterfront, immediately east of `A' Jetty within the Dockyard at CFB Esquimalt. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
