Description

B Hall was constructed in 1910 and was used as a prison cell block. It was a relatively modern design in the early 20th century, and the previous structure was pulled down with the help of prisoners. It now serves as a Heritage Storytelling Space, with its existing state maintained in order to provide visitors with an authentic impression of historical prison conditions.
