Narrabri Gaol and Residence, Heritage site in Narrabri, Australia.
The Narrabri Gaol and Residence features thick brick walls, a classical pediment, and a central wing bordered by high brick walls with rendered quoins.
Built between 1880 and 1881 by J. Conlon, the facility expanded from an initial lock-up with two cells to accommodate increasing numbers of prisoners.
The structure stands as a testament to New South Wales colonial architecture and represents the evolution of correctional facilities in rural Australian communities.
The building maintains its original structural elements, including 450-millimeter external walls and floors elevated 750 millimeters above the footpath level.
The gaol operated continuously for over a century under historical punishment systems and remains among the last functioning country gaols from James Barnett's era.
