Huron Historic Gaol - Canada
Goderich, Ontario
Canada

Opened in 1842, the Huron County Jail, designed by architect Thomas Young, was considered as a model of humanitarian prison design at the time. The building originally housed the County Courts and Council Chambers, as well as serving as Gaol and House of Refuge. This unique and imposing octagonal building served as the Huron County Jail until 1972.
