About This Property

This structure replaces a red-brick Victorian jail that was built around 1900. The jailer and his family lived
upstairs. It had a hanging tower that was probably never used. The only legal hanging took place behind the jail that was located where city hall is today. The current building was constructed after 1950 and has been
replaced by a new jail on Hwy. 90 West.

Year Built: 1967
