I don't know the dates when the various buildings were constructed, but this banister would be appropriate for 1907 or other early period in the life of the institution. The place wasn't built as a prison or torture chamber - it was a school; it would have had attractive (if impractical) features and details before (as dme noted above) the safety fencing was installed. Some of the architecture of other buildings looks like they had to be built in the 1930s and 1950s.

This entire gallery of images is just stunning - not only do the pictures capture history, but do so in an artistic way.
