Jail Break

The first picture shows the Jail house and how it sits on the plot. It actually occupies less than half of the actual plot. Everything shown on the right is also part of the property.

Note the afdak on the side of the house

The next picture is a close up of the actual house.
The bathroom is on the extreme left (No windows). The enclosed verandah on the right with windows. A central alley (?) into the front of the house separates the bathroom and verandah. Common access is through the side door under the afdak.

The most commonly used door is the side door and it leads directly into the main living room which was the court house.

This picture was taken with my back to the enclosed verandah (facing east) and shows the common access door on the right, the kitchen and the access to the two bedrooms at left.

The court house or common living area as it is now runs from the enclosed verandah the whole length of the house to the back wall. There are no back windows.
The next picture is of the living room facing west.

The verdandah is fairly typical of verandahs built in the fifties and is shown in the next picture. The living room is now behind me.

Turning your back to the the Verandah entrance, the kitchen area, really only a sink and a wall unit isnext to the door way into the first bedroom.

The first bedroom is a really small room and was at one stage a bathroom. Toilet and wash hand basin marks are readily seen.

It isn't really bent like this. I just didn't think of stitching it until long after the pictures were taken.

The main bedroom is off this smaller bedroom

In this next picture you can see the door into the bathroom from the main bedroom.

and leads directly into the bathroom and toilet.

And a fairly large bathroom it is compared with modern arrangements.

The front entrance is seldom used and is a bit of a conundrum. The first picture is facing inwards.

The next picture is facing outwards.

I want to close in this large area and make it part of the flow. Problem is that there is a serious obstacle to the closing in of the entrance hall

Yes, you guessed right. This is an OLD, well used swallows nest and for the life of me I cannot bring myself to close it in and lose my yearly european tenants.
Any good suggestions?

The joists are not hugely pretty, in fact they appear to be trees that have been debarked.

The following pictures show the inside of the roof.

And now ladies and gentlemen!

The actual holding cells are to the back of the house and are shown in the next picture.

The keys are of awesome size as shown by the next picture.
