Joliet Prison
William W. Boyington, 1858
Built of Joliet limestone quarried on-site, with the labor done by convicts, for a total cost of $75,000. The prison was a model for others around the country, but by the time it closed in 2002, it was horribly outdated. It was the first and most frequent site of electrocution executions in Illinois.
