"This one story T-shaped building was constructed in 1872. Walls are made of brick, 12" in thickness. The dimensions are 48' x 48' — 27.4' x 32.2' and has 1,750 square feet of usable space. The largest door opening measures 10' x 10' and ceiling height is 15'10". An "engine house" is located in the rear. In the Guardhouse proper, there was a small sanitary facilities cell, a dark cell, solitary cell, regular cell and general prison. A copy of the plans dated May 22, 1871 and signed by Julian McAllister is the property of a local citizen. The exterior, now stucco covered, appears to be in good condition and is presently used for storage."
