The State of Connecticut offered the Town of Haddam the Old Jail along with four outbuildings and 51 acres of land. FA was retained by the Town to perform a comprehensive Feasibility Study of this 19th century jail. The work included: evaluation of site and building conditions, identification of hazardous materials, identification of short-term and long-term  restoration/renovation/rehabilitation, as well as a series of suggestions and evaluation of potential reuse concepts for the site and buildings, and the development of preliminary costs for short-term and long-term repairs/renovations. Architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and site systems were reviewed and documented.

Considering the historical and architectural significance of the Old Jail, one of the suggested concepts included the development of a Jail Museum/Resource Center along with municipal offices, and recreation fields. Along with the final report, FA also produced and presented a series of presentations to the community. Subsequently, this Study served as a vehicle for analysis, presentation and open dialogue for the Town and the community. Ultimately, the Town voted to accept the property from the State.
