100 Reformatory Rd 44905 Mansfield Ohio United States Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Website Phone: (419) 522-2644 The cornerstone laid on November 4, 1886 evolved into this magnificent Chateauesque structure. Cleveland architect Levi T. Scofield designed the Ohio State Reformatory using a combination of three architectural styles; Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne. This was done to encourage inmates back to a "rebirth" of their spiritual lives. The architecture itself inspired them to turn away from their sinful lifestyle, and toward repentance. This grand structure is comprised of more than 250,000 square feet and houses the world's largest free-standing steel cell block. The Reformatory doors were opened to its first 150 young offenders in September 1896. After housing over 155,000 men in its lifetime, the doors to the prison closed December 31, 1990. Today the Ohio State Reformatory Historic Site receives visitors from all over the world. Every year tourists, movie buffs, thrill seekers and paranormal investigators walk through the halls of this majestic structure. |

I was born and raised in Ohio. Ended up dating some idiot from Mansfield. We drove by the place on numerous occasions. The pictures don't do it justice. It is BEAUTIFUL, minus the fact that its a prison. The architecture is insane. I've heard PLENTY of stories from my ex's mom who lived not too far from the prison. They were pretty intense. This should be a good trip for you guys, with plenty of interaction.
Good Luck! Mansfield

This place is AMAZING!!! The architecture alone is awesome. It has the largest freestanding steel cell block in the United States. Going for a day tour is great and the guides are extremely knowledgeable....going for a ghost hunt is even better. You have access to the whole building and there is always lots of activity.
The prison museum documents not only prison life but also the great movies and some cool music videos that were filmed there. I highly recommend Mansfield Reformatory to anyone for a day tour or a ghosthunt!!!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!! |
