A retired Ontario garbage worker has decided to spend his retirement in jail.
Bill Steele of Oshawa, Ont., recently bought a defunct New Brunswick jail with a history of hangings.
The 50-year-old man plans to sell his house and take up residence at the old Dorchester gaol — listed for $159,900 — which was decommissioned more than 20 years ago and features 15 original jail cells.
Steele said he's always had a passion for collecting antiques and "morbid stuff," and wanted to retire somewhere unconventional, near where his father grew up in Pictou, N.S.
"Everybody lives in a house and I'm tired of playing house," said Steele in an interview.
Steele said he may start a museum in part of the historic building, where two infamous convicted murderers — 19-year-old Arthur Bannister and his 20-year-old brother Daniel — were hanged. The brothers had killed a 30-year-old woodsman during the abduction of his infant daughter, who also died.
An article published in The New York Times at the time said on Sept. 24, 1936, the brothers walked silently to the gallows, "where they stood back-to-back as the nooses were placed over their heads."
