The city's old fortress-like prison, the Tombs, was placed on sale by the city in October 1941, and was still looking for bidders when this picture was taken on January 21, 1942. (A new prison, also known as The Tombs, had been built the year before.) Only one offer was made in the 14 weeks since the listing, and the city decided it was too low. It was the bidder’s proposal to use the Tombs as a chamber of horrors and later convert it to an indoor polo field. Eventually it was torn down.

ANTIGA PRESO-MASIA-LA PABORDIA-CAMPS-FONOLLOSA-PINTURA-ART-HISTORIA-TEMPS ANTICS-CATALUNYA-AQUAREL·LA-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS por Ernest Descals Por Flickr: ANTIGA PRESO-MASIA-LA PABORDIA-CAMPS-FONOLLOSA-PINTURA-ART-HISTORIA-TEMPS ANTICS-CATALUNYA-AQUAREL·LA-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS- En la Masia de LA PABORDIA, masies del municipi de CAMPS a FONOLLOSA, he trobat aquesta antiga presó dins de la casa, records de la història de Catalunya i els seus temps antics, resulta difícil entrar-hi també sortir, sort que han col·locat una mena de petita escaleta per accedir millor, la llum només entra per una petita finestra incrustada en la paret de pedres, es fa carregós pensar com es devien sentir els que estaven tancats aquí dins, la supervivència de l'ésser humà ho pot superar gairebé tot. Les velles pedres són les protagonistes del lloc al qual s'accedeix per l'obertura en la paret. He cregut adient Pintar aquestes sensacions com a artista viatger i interessat pels motius històrics de casa nostra. Pintura amb aquarel·les en la llibreta de viatge, obres de l'artista pintor Ernest Descals voltant per les comarques en l'entorn de Manresa. In the Masia de LA PABORDIA, farmhouses in the municipality of CAMPS in FONOLLOSA, I found this old prison inside the house, memories of the history of Catalonia and its ancient times, it is difficult to enter and also to leave, luckily they have placed a kind of small staircase for better access, the light only enters through a small window embedded in the stone wall, it is burdensome to think how those who were locked up inside must have felt, the survival of the human being can overcome almost everything. The old stones are the protagonists of the place which is accessed through the opening in the wall. I thought it appropriate to paint these sensations as a traveling artist and interested in the historical motifs of our house. Painting with watercolors in the travel notebook, works by the artist painter Ernest Descals around the counties in the area of Manresa.
