Originally Convict Hiring Depot from 1851 - 1905. Originally part of Reserve 41 (which was included in the residency) the gaol was complete in 1873 at a cost of 1,230 pound. In September 1886 the railway track cut through the block and separated the residency from the gaol by half an acre. The gaol, the third of the five which the town has had was the only one built by private contract. The murderer Deeming was sent there to await transport to the Eastern States. In process of restoration (as at 1967) by the RWAHS, Albany.
