Old Prison
Description
The home for the Graduate School of Business (GSB) since 1992 when it moved from Protem in Rosebank to Breakwater. The Breakwater campus is close to Cape Town's Victoria and Alfred Waterfront development in the oldest part of the city's docklands. Prior to this occupation, the buildings originally served as a prison known as the Breakwater Prison. The Breakwater Prison was built in 1901 to accommodate male "European" convicts (1911-1926) from the much older Breakwater prison. From 1926-1989 it was a labour hostel for black dockworkers.
