The Salvation Army Barracks at Oamaru are situated in Thames Street, and were erected in 1887. The building is of stone, and has sitting room for 300 persons. The site is half an acre in extent. Behind the main building there is another in wood, for junior members of the corps, and with seats for 100 persons. The officers' quarters are situated further back on the section. The corps numbers sixty, and there is a good band. The district is in charge of Adjutant Charles Davies, who was appointed in January, 1903.
