The jail was original built in 1909 and was until 1972. It was located in Elizabeth Street but it now can be found at 274B Jackson Street (Petone’s main road). This situated a little back from the road and is next to the current Police Station, on the other side is a cafe offering a great coffee.
In 1991 Petone Historic Society took over building as well as the old Police Station.
