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 The prison was a model for others around the country, but by the time it closed in 2002, it was horribly outdated.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.

This museum security guy decided it was best to stand right next to the installation and adjust his trousers.

Security outside the Republican Stadium in Yerevan just before the Armenia-Holland match. The atmosphere was very friendly. Nevertheless, it seems there was more security than spectators... Yerevan 2005. Armenian visitors please comment in English
13 August 2014. One of the two security vehicles parked outside the former sheltered housing block, Protheroe House, Chesnut Road, Tottenham N17. The other car was marked "Dog Section".
Protheroe House appeared empty, without any sign of the building work needed to replace it with an "Extra Care supported housing scheme" run by a Housing Association called "One Housing Group".
The previous elderly and disabled residents were moved from their accommodation for this purpose in 2012. ("Decanted" is the jargon.)
The building was then left empty for several months.
in June 2013 it was squatted by a group of several dozen people. They were evicted by Haringey Council in September 2013..
Read more about these events here.
This includes the scandalous delay caused by negotiating a Section 106 planning agreement with One Housing Group, for £30,000 allocated to a wasteful and entirely unnecessary "Green Link".
Security
After eviction of the squatters in September 2013, the doors and windows of Protheroe House were re-sealed and a security company hired to prevent further unauthorised access.
As the months went by, it seemed that this arrangement was continuing. The building remained sealed-up; and guards from the security company - with dogs - were outside the entrance.
Interestingly, it seemed that a portable toilet had been provided for this company's staff. Although I don't know whether or not it had connection to the sewer and mains water. Last year, the Council staff told me that it was not possible to provide even a stand pipe for the squatters.
I was concerned about the continuing cost; and the lack of any apparent progress. If "extra care housing" was a high priority for Haringey residents, when would it be provided?
My Freedom of Information Act Request
On 7 March 2014, I made a Freedom of Information Act request to Haringey asking for the cost of the security company and other information.
You can read my questions and Haringey's replies here on the website What Do They Know.
You'll see that the cumulative bill for security was £94,218 from September 2013 - when the last squatters were evicted - until 2 April 2014. It was then running at a weekly average of £2,500. Which would mean an additional cost of over £50,000 by the end of August 2014.

This beautiful manor house, built in 1896 is in a very perilous state today. Used as a residential school for pupils to escape the heavy industry of nearby towns and cities, Pirniehall was used as a residential education facility up until 1993 until it closed.
Apparently someone who owned it paid for kids from Dumbarton to come and break every window to allow the building to be open to the elements. Today it has been wrecked, metal stolen, and the middle of the house has collapsed.
Apparently there are 11 cats that live here, and some bats. I didn't see any cats, but did see a bat.
Another winter and I think more of this beautiful house will collapse, which will be ever so sad.:(
The visitors' entrance doesn't need door handles or a knocker, as Thames House is the headquarters of MI5 ('the Security Service'): they already know who you are, when you'll be arriving, and why.
Okay; these are merely the outer doors, opened during office hours.
The Grade II Listed building, on the northern bank of the river overlooking Lambeth Bridge, was designed by Sir Frank Baines in an Imperial Neoclassical style and built 1928-30 for ICI. Acquired by the government for £82 million in 1988, Thames house underwent "refurbishment to a basic office standard" costing £227 million (which obviously included certain specialist requirements) before opening in 1994.
The conversion incorporated considerable physical and electronic defences, few of which are immediately apparent, but note the metal brackets in the lower windows, supporting glass panels preventing anything being left on the sills. I also happened to see some of those distinctive bollards being installed in Whitehall last year, so know that their foundations are startlingly robust. For those unfamiliar with UK road markings, the red line means 'don't even think of stopping here, never mind waiting'.
Not to be confused with the ziggurat-like headquarters of MI6 (SIS, 'the Secret Intelligence Service') at Vauxhall Cross, on the southern bank of the Thames at Vauxhall Bridge, nor Freemasons' Hall in Great Queen Street, Holburn, the exterior of which was used as 'Thames House' in the BBC's 'Spooks' TV series. The real Thames House did appear in the BBC's 'Torchwood: Children Of Earth', however.
I presume the bearded face over the doors (which are by W.B. Fagan), bounded by sails and similar nautical imagery, represents Old Father Thames.
