Last time I was here I was paying a ticket. But not this time.... The one place I had half expected to go in the Gaol, was not accessible. The staff lunchroom, as it has the hook in the ceiling that they used to hang people. Oh well, got photos in the courtroom addition, and saw the holding cell area that is in there. I think it was too small and crowded to get a shot tho.

As well the Governors House I got at, and the one place I would have liked to go, was not accessible. I honestly had wanted to walk up the spiral stairs in it, bit it was cordoned off, as was the stairs to the second floor, so what I got, might be what I ever get. Possibly one of the nicer sets of stairs Ive seen in this Region, but for what it is, expected. The Govornors House was essentially to "block" the jail from the public. Now, it is a failed concept, but in Olde Berlin, Im sure it worked just minty! Yeah, I have photos of M-T places, but want to clear "old" stuff.

It used to be painted red. And the paint was sandblasted off. The sandblasting did some permanent damage to the building (really the paint was what damaged it as it was removed).

Looking back to the direction I entered from.
