This was a long building along the south side of today's Queensway, in front of where the JW Marriott is today.

An 1856 map shows a building on the site labeled "Ordinance Office":

On an 1880 map it is labeled "Military Store":

Admiralty, 1880
Admiralty, 1880, by Admin

 

In this 1981 photo, the building is seen behind the tram:

I'm not sure if it is the same building from 1856-1981, or if it was re-developed during that time.
