Newgate Prison, Dublin, Historical prison in central Dublin, Ireland.
The three-story quadrangular structure featured four round towers at each corner, with a total length of 170 feet and depth of 127 feet.
Architect Thomas Cooley designed this prison, which operated from 1783 until 1863, replacing an earlier facility near Christ Church Cathedral.
The prison chapel employed three chaplains simultaneously to serve inmates of different faiths: Church of England, Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian denominations.
The cells measured twelve by eight feet and were arranged along corridors with iron gates, allowing visitors to communicate through metal grates.
Following its closure as a prison in 1863, the building transformed into a fruit and vegetable market until its demolition in 1893.
