Sign appears above the city

This print of the original NH State prison is from the 1853 annual report. It was located between Beacon and Tremont Streets. The center section was built of granite in 1812 and had 36 jail cells. The wings were added as the prison population increased and the brick workshops were built in the rear. The inmates were moved to the present prison on North State Street in 1880 and this original granite structure was torn down with some of the brick portion remaining to this day.
