Mess
By a Governor Ordinance No. 11 of 5 May 1852 the Castellania had to be converted into a military mess for the Maltese Militia Force. It is known to have been occupied by the military stationed in Valletta and Floriana by at least 1854.

Exhibition centre
The building later housed an exhibition centre. Despite the efforts of originality in science subjects it failed to attract crowds to sustain it.

Division into three parts
It was eventually split into three parts a tenants living quarters () in the former prison, a Government High School for Girls in the former courthouse and the Gas Office in the former police office. The Malta and Mediterranean Company Limited terminated its operations with a parliamentary approval of the Gas Act of November 1952. The latter later served as the headquarters of the St. John Ambulance Association.

In 1894, the Malta Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (established in 1852) housed a temporary exhibition at the Castellania. The building was considered ideal to showcase the works of the society by local artisans. However, Gerald Strickland handed the artisans society another building in St John Street opposite St John's Co-Cathedral, the Palazzo Xara (destroyed in WWII) so that the Castellania can be vacated for a more permanent use.

Between 1904 and 1906, the Malta Fever Commission (MFC) worked in the Castallania, and on 14 June 1905 the physician Sir Themistocles Zammit discovered the cause behind the Mediterranean fever (known also by various names) while working there. The fever was first traced in Malta among British soldiers during the French occupation of Malta.

In June 1904, during the experiments, Zammit learned that a Maltese family of five members became simultaneously ill after consuming fresh unpasteurized milk from goats. He went on to purchase healthy goats and tested them, and at one point also kept them on the first floor of the Castellania (then known as the public health building or the variants). Zammit was successful in the discovery of the disease. David Bruce, who led the MFC, discouraged the experiments when proposed by Zammit
