County of jail: Butte County
Location of jail: behind Courthouse, 6th Ave., Belle Fourche

" The Butte County Jail is a two-story, rectangular building. It is constructed of native red sandstone blocks cut by stonemason John A. Scotney. The sandstone was most likely quarried south of Belle Fourche. The stone shows Scotney's trademark of a rough rock base finish. Scotney also built the sandstone store building located on Sixth and State Streets in Belle Fourche, and his own home located at 830 9th Street. One of the most interesting aspects of the jail is the miniature knight located above the original entrance. It is unknown if it is an original part of the old jail or was added later." ~ NRHP Nomination Form Narative
