There is a Sheriff's Office & Jail (not this), on the National Register. In the text they refer to the "New" jail...that is this building. Today, there is even a newer jail at the sheriff's department north of here.

Wiki Commons has a photo of this building, but the information they include with it is totally wrong.

Other than an indirect comment in the NRHP documentation, I find nothing on this building.
