房利湾监狱从 1883 年到 1979 年作为女王陛下的监狱和劳工监狱运营。
原来的建筑包括两个有 16 个牢房的街区、一个洗衣房和一个厨房。 1887 年建造了一座石制医务室，并保留在现场。 1920 年为女囚犯建造了牢房。女囚牢房包括一个小花园，旨在让囚犯忙碌。二战期间，囚犯被释放，监狱被陆军和空军使用。 1950 年代增设了瞭望塔、原住民囚犯“原住民区”、厨房食堂、还押区和两个最高安全翼。监狱里有罕见的绞刑架，是为 1952 年在北领地的最后两次绞刑而建造的。
区域的完整性和严酷性结合起来传达了该机构的压抑气氛。这座监狱因其刑罚、法律、医疗和社会历史而备受推崇。房利湾监狱是达尔文近 100 年的主要监狱，直到 1979 年囚犯被转移到位于 Berrimah 的惩教所。
现在，范尼湾监狱是一个重要的历史遗迹，每年都吸引着成千上万的游客。
