The Chatham Jail was an adult jail located at 17 7th Ave at the corner of Stanley Ave in Chatham, Ontario, Canada. The jail closed May 16, 2014. The Chatham Jail along with the Windsor Jail were replaced by the South West Detention Centre in Maidstone (Windsor) Ontario.[1]
History
The building, together with the Kent County Courthouse, was designed by Canadian architect William Thomas. The Neoclassical limestone building was completed in 1850, and features a balustraded balcony, a prominent pediment and a crowning cupola.[2] While it was being built, the future Canadian Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie worked on its construction as a stone mason.[3] The court is no longer in use.
