The Tombs, NYC Halls of Justice, 1896

The Tombs is the colloquial name for the Manhattan Detention Complex a municipal jail in Lower Manhattan at 125 White Street, as well as the nickname for three previous city-run jails in the former Five Points neighborhood of lower Manhattan. The original Tombs, officially known as the Halls of Justice, was built in 1838 in the Egyptian Revival style.
