History of Huron County Jail
The 130 year old jail sits on
a site which originally cost the
municipality about $500. The
building itself cost $23, 672
when constructed in 1841.
It's construction was part of
a deal with the government of
the Province of Canada, which
passed legislation setting up an
administrative area comprising
Huron and some townships now
in Bruce and Perth.
William Day, of Goderich,
lowest tenderer, got the build-
ing contract. He erected stone
walls two feet thick from the
Maitland River quarry and when
better stone was required for
the copings, Dan Lizars was
1,, dispatched to Port Huron to
negotiate with the quarry there.
A chapel was thoughtfully
provided in the central tower,
but when it was found there was
no money for construction or
rental of a courthouse, the
chapel was assigned to the
judges.
The Canada Company, owner
of 1, 100, 000 acres in the Huron
Tract, granted the jail site,
and the directors in London ap-
proved a loan of 1, 300 pounds
toward construction.
The ex chapel on the top
floor of the jail was soon in dis-
favor with visiting judges, who
complained of the awkward
access and jail odors. They
moved to hold court in the
dining room of the British Ex-
change Hotel.
By late spring of 1841, almost
everyone in town and surround-
ing area had visited the new
jail at least once. So much muc
was carried in that Charles Slack
newly appointed jailer, obtain-
ed an order to keep visitors out.
This order continued in effect
for 130 years until the County
opened the jail to the public in
February of this year.
In 1911, Edward Jardine was
hanged in this jail after being
convicted of the murder of
Lizzie Anderson.
Forty eight years later, on
June 12, 1959, the jail received
another youth, accused of a
similar crime. Steven Murray
Truscott charged with the murd-
er of Lynne Harper at RCAF
station Clinton.
The- old jail has been pointed
to by various historical archit-
ects as the only one of its type
left in North America and poss-
ibly the world.
The Save the Jail Society
hope that through continuing
negotiations with the County of
Huron and the Province of Ont-
ario that the structure can be
saved from any demolition.
