     Moundsville, WV
    The West Virginia Penitentiary, located in Moundsville, West Virginia, is a gothic style prison that operated from 1866 to 1995. Today, it serves as a tourist attraction, museum, training facility, and filming location. The prison's design is similar to the 1858 state prison in Joliet, Illinois, featuring a castellated Gothic stone structure complete with turrets and battlements. The site offers a unique glimpse into the history of the American penal system and the architectural styles of the time.
