This former jail appears on a local historical database along with two other buildings that were once used as a jail in town. The database website states this jail as having been erected around 1940. The jail is comprised of concrete blocks with two small windows covered by metal bars in the front and back. Someone has painted illustrations of a prisoner and sheriff on the building along with the words 'Ye Olde Jail' on the door. The small town of Bonanza has no police force so anyone arrested and detained is through the Klamath County Sheriff and prisoners are transported to the Klamath County Jail in Klamath Falls.
