It is constructed out of the local basalt rock, one of the very few buildings built in this uncompromising material. Built with prison labour it was designed by P.F.M. Burrows and is similar in appearance to Dartmoor Prison in England. Transportation Mt Eden is well served by trains and buses, and is only from Auckland’s CBD.
