Notes
  • Significance: At the time it was built, this penitentiary was considered one of the most modern and humane prisons in the United States. The Administration Building was built almost entirely of materials indigenous to the State of Tennessee. Its appearance, which at first glance belies its use, suggests the European castle as romanticized by the nineteenth-century imagination.
  • Survey number: HABS TN-33
