The original convict land grant was around 36 acres. The Prison was built from limestone quarried on the site and consisted of the perimeter walls, gatehouse complex, the main cell block, service buildings and workshops.

As well as the Prison, accommodation was built for the Comptroller General, the Clerk of Works (check), the prisoner Guards and warders and the Royal Engineers.

Further building campaigns included the conversion of the service building to a women's prison (1888), two reservoirs (1870s and 1890s), the construction of New Division (1904-07), and various workshops across the twentieth century.
