- Peel County Courthouse and Jail
Peel County Courthouse and Jail is a historic building located in Brampton, Ontario and served as a courthouse and jail for Peel County and Peel Region, as well as the first home of Peel Regional Council.
The two court house was built in 1866 by architect William Kauffman and Peel County Council began sitting in 1867. A tower is located in the centre top of the building. A three storey jail was added at the rear in 1867.
Peel County sat at the Courthouse until 1973 and then became home to Peel Regional Council from 1973 to 1980 (then moved to the Peel Centre).
The building was renovated in the 1980s and became home to Peel Region Museum and archives. [ [http://www.heritagefdn.on.ca/userfiles/HTML/nts_1_8870_1.html Peel County Courthouse and Jail (Regional Municipality of Peel - City of Brampton) - 1866-67] ]
