Description

Construction on the gaol began in 1822 using convict labour, but the site was abandoned for over a decade before the funds were found to complete some of the cell blocks, allowing the first prisoners to be received in 1841.?76 people were hanged at the gaol during its period of usage, including bushranger Andrew George Scott aka "Captain Moonlite", and the last woman executed in New South Wales,?Louisa Collins, hanged in 1889 for poisoning her husband. The gaol closed in 1914, following the construction of new facilities at Long Bay Gaol. Darlinghurst Gaol was used as an internment cap during World War One, and since 1921?the site has been inhabited by the National School of Art.
