The current Old Melbourne Gaol officially opened on 1 January 1845. It was preceded by the first Melbourne Gaol which was built in Collins Street West in 1839-40. This first building was too small, necessitating a newer, larger complex.
As far as I know the Gaol is made mostly of limestone. This led to problems when it was built because it was on a very exposed site and the rain was absorbed, making the Gaol so wet when it first opened that the ground floor could not be used for much of the first year.
