The Old Kilmore Gaol is a bluestone building in Kilmore, Victoria. It was originally built as a gaol and is located at 8 to 12 Sutherland Street.[1]
History
Old Kilmore Gaol was built in 1857 under the supervision of Charles Pasley.[2] It was a gaol from 1859 until 1891 when it was decommissioned and used as a butter factory.[3][4][5] In the 1960s it became a private home and was a restaurant in the 1990s before reverting again to a private home in 2004.[6] Today, the gaol is used for commercial purposes.[3] Its bluestone walls and exterior appearance are the only original features that have been retained.[3]
Heritage significance
It appears on the Heritage Council of Victoria's Victorian Heritage Database, for being "one of a small group of early Victorian prisons to be built outside of Melbourne." and "for its long use as a centre of dairy production and distribution ... and for its contribution to Kilmore's rare group of Basalt public buildings."[2] and is listed on the Register of the National Estate.[7]
