Historical information

It is likely, however, that this photo actually dates from 1961 when the roof was being re-shingled, as part of the restoration of the building to re-open as a museum in 1962.
The shingling seems to be at the same stage of completion as image 2001.1198 in the Shire of Toodyay collection, which is an exterior view of the entire gaol. This image is also dated ca1961.
