Publication Account (1997)
Lewis Street courthouse and jail and their supporting buildings, now in the process of redevelopment, were built in two phases, the earliest dating from c 1840. Later additions may include the prison yard, to the east: the high security wall in the prison yard is clear testimony to its original function.
