Oh, so it was like hm, a sheriff's gaol and office? :)

this is a print and pciture of the Glasgow "Tollbooth", it got converted into a clocktower.
the tower is what remains of a very old town council building from early 1600s, the foreground structure, octagonal and squat was, iirc where they did imprison folk and replaced a much older one dating back to the 14th century.

tollbooth = jail, since you rarely got jailed for long, as flogging, execution and fines were used not long jail time for most folks.
