[3] A woman's reformatory with a well-patronised laundry was constructed in 1883-84 by Richard Godsall outside the prison walls and opened in 1869.

Some of the hand-made bricks (using clay dug from pits in Queens Park[3]) from the demolished structure were used to build the Boer Wall Memorial Gateway[4] at the Margaret Street end of East Creek Park near the Mother's Memorial,[4] after being held in storage, as the plaque thereon states.

The whole original site and surrounding modern buildings, including the Repertory Theatre, are the source of many ghost sightings/tales.

[7] The Park Motor Inn at 88 Margaret Street was built on the northeast part of the old gaol grounds.

After his death in 1909, the Austral Society ceased in 1911,[8] and the building was later demolished,[4] eventually being replaced in part by a townhouse block.
