Stone Frigate Building, Kingston

The Stone Frigate Building is a historic structure located at the Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard. Designed by Archibald Fraser and constructed between 1819 and 1824, the building served as a storehouse under the command of Captain Robert Barrie. It was built to store the gear and rigging of the British fleet dismantled and housed in Navy Bay following the Rush–Bagot Treaty of 1817, which aimed to limit naval armaments on the Great Lakes post-War of 1812.

The dockyard was closed in 1835 but reopened in 1837 during the rebellions in the Canadas. Captain Williams Sandom and a group of sailors took residence in the Stone Frigate warehouse, located near the St. Lawrence pier in Navy Bay. By the 1860s, the Stone Frigate storehouse and one wharf were the only parts of the dockyard maintained.

In 1876, the Stone Frigate was repurposed when the Royal Military College of Canada was established on the former dockyard site. The former warehouse was converted into dormitories and classrooms, playing a crucial role in the education and accommodation of cadets at the military college. Referred to as "The Boat" within the Royal Military College of Canada, the Stone Frigate accommodates 1 Squadron, who have adopted the name Stone Frigate Military Academy for themselves.
