Colonial Jail

Colonial Jail

Was erected in 1873 as a prison after the earlier prison on the same site was burned by Federal troops during the War Between the States. This two story structure has hardy brick walls relieved by well proportioned brick pilasters and other features. The small wings were later additions. Its simplicity of style is faithful to the architectural design popular in the post-bellum period.
