In 1966 two wings of the Pensioner's Barrack were demolished to make way for the Mitchell Freeway and give the newly built Parliament House a clear view down St George's Terrace. The public were outraged. Unfortunately despite the publics's disapproval the State Government went ahead and demolished the Barracks. The Barracks Arch is now all that remains.
