Governor’s
House & Gaol
In 1852, Bylaw No. 2 passed by the Provisional Waterloo County Council
provided for "the erection of a Court House and Jail." Once
these structures were built, the County could be a legal entity. The Gaol
officially opened on January 23, 1853 and contained 14 single cells and
six double cells. Completely redeveloped in recent years, it's now home
to Provincial Offences Act Courtrooms. The adjacent Governor’s House,
built in 1878, and has also been restored to its former splendour and
is a popular tourist destination.
