I have opted for archaic in the below sentence
 

Construction of the present Sir William Chambers-designed
began in 1776, in order to house the The
Salt Office, The Stamp Office, The Tax Office, The Navy Victualling Office and
the Publick Lottery Office among many other now archaic
departments of state.
