History
The Adelaide Gaol is one of the two oldest remaining public buildings in Adelaide. It was designed by G.S.Kingston, Civil Engineer of the new Colony. The gaol and expensive public works at Port Adelaide contributed to the near bankruptcy of the Colony. Governor Gawler was held responsible for this situation and he was recalled from his position and replaced by Governor Grey.

The radial plan of the gaol is important because it was a bold, new design which incorporated the latest in overseas gaol design.
