English: Moyamensing Prison. From Page 112 of The Official Guide Book to Philadelphia 1876 by Westcott, Thompson P. (https://archive.org/details/officialguideboo00west/) The Philadelphia County or Moyamensing Prison is located on Passyunk road near Tenth street, just below Reed street, and comprises a massive square building, in the centre three stories in height, with wings on each side two stories in height, flanked by heavy octagonal towers, and having beyond these towers walls which terminate in bastions. The walls are of Quincy granite, and the building has the appearance of an invulnerable stronghold, and is of the Tudor style of English Gothic castle architecture. At the north of the County Prison is a brownstone structure in heavy Egyptian style, which formerly was used as the debtors' apartment, but which is now occupied as a separate prison for females. In the prison there are 400 cells for males, and 100 cells for female prisoners. Permits can be obtained at the Mayor's office, corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets, and at the office of the Public Ledger. The Tenth and Eleventh streets line of cars running south on Tenth street carries visitors to the prison. The County Prison, familiarly called Moyamensing Prison, is the eighth building devoted to prison purposes in Philadelhphia by authority of the county. ...The corner-stone of the Moyamensing Prison was laid on the 2d of April, 1832. The building was finished in 1835. The prisoners were removed to it in 1835-6. |
