| About | Olde Gaol Museum contains a regional collection of artifacts & interpretive displays housed in a former penal institution. The building was constructed of limestone and white brick with a slate roof. It was constructed in the Italianate design, common for jails at that time, distinguishable by strong symmetrical, round-headed windows. The characteristic entrance emphasized an oaken door placed in a setting of Ohio stone and surmounted by a chain festooning. The festooning was replaced with a portcullis. At the time of initial construction, a wooden fence surrounded the front of the property. In 2000, the building was designated as a heritage building, and the front of the gaol was protected by the Ontario Heritage Act. |
