This building was a component of the Cornelia Battery, but its specific function is not known. It is believed to have been built shortly after the battery, circa 1939. It is a concrete building with steel blast doors but fitted with a pitched corrugated iron roof over cast concrete - a possible measure to disguise it as a civil building.
