Abstract

Townsville's Old Gaol was the first major gaol of fixed structures in North Queensland. The Old Gaol was completed in March 1880, and was situated in North Ward, Townsville. The new gaol, at Stuart's Creek, was completed in 1891. In 1955, the Townsville Central State Primary School was erected on the Old Gaol's premises. The design incorporated the use of at least one of the original Old Gaol structures. This thesis documents the history of the original structures of the Old Gaol, in regard to the way that people and structures interrelate. The re-use of the premises by other Government departments is another major topic of this thesis. Also included are discussions on the aspects involved in the design process, and effects that the original design have had on the use and re-use of the Old Gaol.
