Wounded soldiers were cared for in the houses during the Crimean War in the 1850s. A bomb destroyed one house in 1940, which was rebuilt.
Pendant des siècles, le service royal de l’armement stocka des armes et des équipements militaires dans la Tour. La plupart de ces bâtiments ont disparu, mais l’entrepôt de la nouvelle armurerie de 1664 et les maisons de 1719 ont survécu.
Les soldats blessés furent soignés dans ces maisons au cours de la guerre de Crimée dans les années 1850. Une maison détruite par une bombe en 1940 fut ensuite reconstruite.

Przez stulecia urząd zaopatrzenia armii przechowywał broń oraz inne wyposażenie wojskowe w twierdzy Tower. Z wielu używanych do tego celu budynków do chwili obecnej zachowała się Nowa Zbrojownia (ang. New Armouries) z 1664 r. oraz budynki z 1719 r.
Tutaj w latach 50. XIX w. opiekowano się żołnierzami, którzy odnieśli rany w czasie wojny krymskiej. W 1940 r. jeden z budynków został zniszczony przez bombę, ale został wkrótce odbudowany.
На протяжении столетий отдел артиллерийско-технической службы хранил оружие и военные припасы в Тауэре. Многие здания отдела были разрушены, но Новые оружейные палаты 1664 г. и эти постройки 1719 г. уцелели.
В этих домах лечили раненых солдат во времена Крымской войны 1850-х гг. В 1940 г. один из них был разрушен бомбой, но был отстроен.
অর্ডন্যান্স অফিস বহু শতক ধরে টাওয়ার এ ও সামরিক রসদ মজুত করে আসে। অর্ডন্যান্স ভবন এখন আর নেই, কিং 1664 সালে নির্মিত নিউ আর্মারিজ ভান্ডার এবং 1719 খেকে এই বাড়িগুলি টিকে আছে।
1850 এর দশকে ক্রিমিয়ান যুদ্ধে আহত হওয়া সৈন্যদের এই বাড়িগুলিতে রাখা করা হয়েছিল। 1940 এ একটি বাড়ি বোমার ক্ষতস হয়েছিল, মা পুনরায় নির্মাণ করা হয়েছিল।
