The buildings watch us. Passing each other like ghosts. Always chasing echoing whispers, destined to never cross paths.

When bubonic plague struck Sydney in 1900, George McCredie was appointed by the Government to take charge of all quarantine activities in the Sydney area, beginning work on March 23, 1900. At the time of his appointment, McCredie was an architect and consulting engineer with offices in the Mutual Life of New York Building in Martin Place. McCredie's appointment was much criticised in Parliament, though it was agreed later that his work was successful.

The Missouri State Penitentiary was a prison in Jefferson City, Missouri, that operated from 1836 to 2004. Part of the Missouri Department of Corrections, it served as the state of Missouri's primary maximum security institution. Before it closed, it was the oldest operating penal facility west of the Mississippi River. It was replaced by the Jefferson City Correctional Center, which opened on September 15, 2004.

Still owned by State of Missouri, The Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) opened in 1836 along the banks of the Missouri River in Jefferson City, Missouri, the state capital. The prison housed inmates for 168 years and was the oldest continually operating prison west of the Mississippi until it was decommissioned in 2004. Now the Jefferson City Convention & Visitors Bureau offers a wide variety of tours at the site, once named the “The bloodiest 47 acres in America” by Time Magazine.
In 1831 Jefferson City’s hold on the capital city status was a tenuous one. To ensure that it remained the seat of government, Governor John Miller suggested a prison be built in Jefferson City. Construction began in 1834 and the first inmate arrived in 1836. From then on the prison became famous for being one of the most efficient in the country…and infamous for its notorious inmates and the 1954 riot on its grounds.
A former Union General, the first train robber, 1930s gangsters, world champion athletes, and the assassin that killed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all came through the gates of the Missouri State Penitentiary (MSP) as inmates. Some left MSP for successful careers in the arts, sports, and even state government; others chose a life of more crime.
In September of 1937, Governor Lloyd Crow Stark signed a bill calling for execution by lethal gas. No longer would the local sheriff be responsible for carrying out the death penalty for those convicted in his county. The days of public hangings in Missouri were to finally come to an end. Many members of the legislature were strongly opposed to the bill and argued that more death sentences would result. Nevertheless, Missouri was, on the whole, a state that supported the death penalty for serious crimes. The bill was changed to lethal gas instead of the electric chair, and passed. In total, 40 inmates were put to death in the gas chamber between 1937 and 1989 when MSP death row ended and all capital punishment inmates were moved to the new prison at Potosi.
In 1985, officials from the MSP, the Department of Corrections, and the Division of Adult Institutions unearthed an old cell block that predated the Civil War. The discovery happened after a court order was issued to put in a recreation yard for offenders that were on death row. When the construction between Housing Units 2 and 3 began, and the crews started digging, they realized they hit something solid. This finding led to an exploration of six cells built around 1848, which were part of the long-buried Centennial Hall. Based on research, this is now believed to be the oldest existing building on the MSP property.
From the earliest days there was a need to isolate the female convicts that came to the Missouri State Penitentiary. Unfortunately, there was little provision for their incarceration. A number of female federal prisoners were sent to MSP because there were no federal facilities for women at the time. Their crimes were, in many cases, violations of immigration, naturalization or conspiracy laws, which coincided with the heightened fears during WWI.
During the years of 1953 and 1954 there had been a rash of prison riots across the United States. Many feared the Missouri system was ripe for an outbreak as well. The potential for riot became a popular topic of conversation which the Missouri Highway Patrol took very seriously, drafting a plan and training officers how to respond to such an event. The advance preparation would come in handy before long.
Keeping desperate and restless people behind bars will always present challenges to corrections officials. Early in the Missouri State Penitentiary’s history escapes were commonplace. Between a lack of a secure perimeter and prisoners working in the community, many escapes were accomplished without much planning or ingenuity.
In conjunction with the Missouri State Penitentiary tours, the museum residing in the lower-level of the Col. Darwin W. Marmaduke House provides additional historical information about the famous prison that operated for 168 years. The museum houses MSP memorabilia as well as a replica cell that demonstrates the living conditions at the prison. Visitors can view the many displays that provide information on prison industries, contract labor/private industries, life inside the walls and control/counter-control as well as items on loan from former Deputy Warden Mark Schreiber.

Partial and edited quote from PBS (America's Public Broadcasting Service)'s program on Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America.
www.pbs.org/wned/frederick-law-olmsted/learn-more/olmsted...
"Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903), America’s first and greatest landscape architect, designed a system of parks and parkways in Buffalo that was the first of its kind in the nation and represents one of his largest bodies of work.
Olmsted is most well-known as being the landscape designer of New York City's Central Park, yet Central Park is only a single block (OK, a massive block) of parkland in the heart of Manhattan, but in Buffalo, he was given the space and freedom and budget to build a series of parks that are linked by connecting parkways and tree-lined circles. Buffalo is regarded as the best-planned city in all of America by many. Buffalo is not merely a city with parks, but a city within a park system.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Frederick Law Olmsted's park system consists of six major parks, their connecting parkways and circles, and several smaller spaces."
One of my earliest assignments during a career in electric utilities controls was as a project engineer for an Energy Management System that my employer was supplying to Tri=State Generation & Transmission in Colorado. I was there to check and correct some issues with custom steel dispatcher consoles that we supplied. The control system was still being programmed in the factory, but the consoles were in place, and some of Tri-State’s existing equipment was placed on the desktop areas for interim use in the new control center.
In today’s post-9/11 security environment, cameras in a control room are prohibited, but 1983 was a different time. Two examples of the technology of the time can be seen on the desktop – the big metal box is a CRT monitor, and the tractor-feed paper coming out of the box on the floor is going into an impact printer. The colors may not be accurate due to Kodachrome and artificial light, but I believe that they are the same as the locomotives of the Escalante Western, which served Tri-State’s Escalante Generating Station.
One other note – this trip provided the opportunity to shoot the final round trip of the Rio-Grande Zephyr.
I saw lots of Tree Swallows on my visit to Mason Neck and they were not darting around like crazy (as they often do); they are a beautiful birds if you can get a good look at them.
2006-2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor dressed in the old skin (black and gold) and also has a jet stream. It was a reserve car for the majority of its second life. I believe I have caught the last one in the state, and it is here being retired at Post 52 in Indianapolis.

One of the most dramatic features of Eastern State is the use of windows and skylights to bring light into the cell blocks. Though it had flushing toilets before the White House, electricity had not yet been harnessed to light these ominous spaces.

Rock Island Train No. 4, the Golden State, passes through the west end of East LaSalle in 1960 with a pair of EMD E7s.
The joint CRI&P / Southern Pacific train ran against the Union Pacific / Milwaukee Road City of Los Angeles and the Santa Fe Super Chief on the Los Angeles - Chicago corridor. A longer schedule and more bland scenery on the Golden State route made it difficult to compete with the more well-known rivals. The main advantage the train offered was connections to many intermediate cities which were not easily reached by either of the other two trains.

Unit D6 9, (Troop D, 6: New Castle County.) On its final day at the Fleet Garage in the Butler Barracks. With 122,718 miles, she is put out of service two days before this was taken. PSP's cutoff was 100,000 until budgetary issues moved it to 125,000. As far as I know, this is the last Ford Crown Victoria on the Western side of the state, for the Eastern side holds them for a long time.
