is it just me or are the skylights on the black roofed section covered over?

I think the black covered part on the left is covered by a tarp or something. The roof must of been leaking pretty bad and they covered the roof to help preserve the old prision.

They must be restoring it or something. They don't look like 1800s material.

I live within walking distance of Easter State , have visited many times, but never saw some of these 'walls'. Eastern State has been going through renovations over the past few years to preserve it and its history. Various sections have been closed up during these times. Thanks for the great photos.

Haviland designed it.
Dickens came to see it.

Over time they wedged new corridors among the old.

They did cover the skylights - years ago.
Probably un-covering them now.
These actually look pretty good.

My guess is that the brown roof would be the original, red is the newer/restored roof and the black tarp was used to cover possible holes/cracks in the roof until it was fixed.

so jealous of your ability to go where no tourists have gone before... at least someone can get into these places and take great photos for the rest of us to view.

This is so bizarre. Looking at the original design It's like they filled those empty areas with more cells blocks to accommodate an increasing population, With total disregard for the architecture.
