Waterloo County Gaol is a historic prison building dating back to the mid-19th century. Constructed in 1852 by architects Mellish and Russell, it is one of the oldest surviving public buildings in Kitchener. The gaol served as the region’s main correctional facility for more than a century and played a significant role in the administration of justice. Although it is no longer in use as a jail, the structure remains a landmark of early civic architecture, reflecting the legal and political history of Waterloo Region.
