The Penitentiary represents the most iconic of all the buildings on the Port Arthur site. Originally built as a flour mill, it was converted to a Penitentiary. Very interesting how the levels were used to segregate "categories" of convicts. While much of the building has perished, the visitor access has been very well done with the ability to move up and down the "levels" of the building to get a sense of just how large and impressive a structure it must have been.

Admired design, masonry and workmanship at many sites around the Port Arthur site. Guard Tower a feature. Built solid to house military barracks and located near to the Commandments house. Beautiful structure & terrific to explore.
