Twilight over the former Kingston Women’s Prison building, a maximum security prison. A fine example of the Edwardian Classic style, this federal prison was built between 1924-1934 with the help of men’s labour gangs from the Kingston Penitentiary (which is located down the street). It was closed in 1995-2000 and the women were gradually dispersed to other federal prisons. I believe it is now owned by the university

Such a treat to look up in the sky with such gorgeous view like that!
My Skywatch, please come by anytime.
such a beautiful building for a prison. the moody sky is wonderful.
That is a very imposing building which once had a very serious purpose, I hope the future will have purpose for it too!
Wonderful capture!
Very beautiful building especially to be built as a women’s prison. A gray, threatening sky, but still beautiful. Mickie 🙂
A nice building for a prison.
Hmmmmm, too bad that the building isn’t being used…do hope the university makes use of it somehow.
Love the lighting in this photo…makes it so very dramatic.
