Former Corrections Canada properties in Kingston, Ontario.

Queen's University bought the Penitentiary Water Tower and surrounding land in 1965.

The Rockwood psychiatric hospital was transferred to the Province of Ontario in 1877, after Kingston Penitentiary inhabitants built the complex. The Ontario government is now privatizing the "ghost building".

Garrigan Park is located on 181 Mowat, three minutes from the Penitentiary. Most of the Corrections Canada buildings in the city were built with limestone from the quarry. A YouTube video "Project Bookmark Canada: Unveiling of 'Convict Lover' plaque" was filmed here.

During the early 1970's my family and I lived in a townhouse located 4 minutes away from Collins Bay Institution. Eldon Hall Place is located on former penitentiary land.
"The Federal Department of Justice owned one of the largest portions of institutional land in the city, the Penitentiary Farm. That farm, located in Kingston's west end, would become the site of both Polson Park and Calvin Park." (From" [PDF] polson park and calvin park-1954-1962, page 5/12.)

I am standing in front of the brand-new Eldon Hall townhouses in 1971.
