30-Year Thursday!

The short, stout building sitting in front of the Reformatory in our "before" photo was referred to as the "A-Building". It was an extension of the administrative offices and was NOT an original part of the Reformatory. It was built much closer to when we were closed down than when we opened, sometime in the late 1970's or early 1980's.

For a time after the Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society took on the Reformatory, A-building housed our ticket operations, tour check-in, and sometimes even the gift shop. It started to fall into disrepair and it didn't make any sense for us to worry about the restoration and upkeep of a part of the Reformatory that wasn't historical. We removed A-building and opened the courtyard back up, making the front porch and main entrance visible again.
