Old Don Jail

Toronto, Canada

The former Don Jail was completed in 1864 with a capacity for 184 inmates. It is notorious for the last judicial hangings in Canada in 1962. Despite its grim history, the building is attractive architecturally, looking palatial over a broad green space, having been recently renovated as an administr

ative building for the Bridgepoint Health complex.
