oh those conical corner protectors are relatively modern (20th century)

Reminds of the "bridge of sighs" for prisoners (last thing they would see0 in old Venice.

Just doesn't have that prison feel to the outside;could be wrong though.

Funny,that cap on top makes me think of the Criminal Justice Center(court) in Phila.

OH Boy! A yard! Looks like an entrance to a grotto...

AS Homer would say:"ummm,-floss....."

I think that cart needs to be turned around so we can see the laughing drama mask.

Nice place to spend isolation.

Used to wonder what it would be like as a C.O. reporting for duty at the beginning of a shift at the now mostly closed-down Holmesburg prison;first thing you'd probably notice would be the smell.Next thing you would probably notice would be the sound.
After that your attention might be fixed on the cramped confines,the stone and stepping over the door sills.And signs like this.

That really is a modern toilette/fountain combo.upgrade.

Don't think there are many sinks in cells unless you're long term...like Alcatraz...they had 'em...

Very light very linear.Symetrical.

One has to be reminded this is an access to a prison.

A jolt.

Can tell this has to do with administration/warden.

Now what is that? A lazy susan on the hearth?
Very nice.

Welcome to the furnace.
