Description

Kerr suggests that the gaol was commenced in 1812 under Macquarie using the standard Sydney design of a neo-Palladian configuration with the cells in two wings. Described as 'A Gaol, with all the necessary wards and cells on a small scale, and out-offices, including a house for the gaoler, and an open court for the use of the prisoners ; the whole of the premises being inclosed with a strong high brick wall'.
