Description

The Stuart Town Gaol was established in Parsons Street in?Alice Springs, then called Stuart, in 1909. It housed male and female inmates of all ages. There were two cells - one for European and one for Aboriginal prisoners. Numbers of prisoners were initially fairly low, but increased sharply after the railway reached Stuart in 1929. When the name of the town was changed to Alice Springs in 1933 the gaol became known as the Alice Springs Gaol. It closed in 1938 with the opening of the HM Gaol and Labour Prison Alice Springs at Stuart Terrace. Today the Stuart Town Gaol, the oldest surviving building in Alice Springs, houses memorabilia related to police history and life in Central Australia.
