They were well built. Unlike things they make now. Nice shot. Zoe

Built as a flour mill in 1845, converted to a Penitentiary for convicts in 1848, but gutted by fire in 1897.

Interesting ! It is a new construction unfinished or are ruins of an old one?

Good luck on NPC !

Greetings, Argenna.

Hi Argenna it certainly isnt a new building that is unfinished, it was built in 1845, it is the Port Arthur Penal settlement in Tasmania. Thanks for your visit, Dianne
