This ca. 1829, Greek Revival vernacular, two-story, six-bay, masonry jail building rests on a foundation of rusticated ashlar block and is constructed of brick laid in Flemish bond. The hipped roof is covered with asphalt shingles and has a boxed cornice and simple frieze. A one-story, six-bay, hipped roof porch is supported by turned wood posts connected to a simple wood balustrade. The porch rests on brick piers; the openings have been covered with lattice panels. Two single-leaf wood doors mark the entrance. Window openings consist of 1/1 sash.
Attached to the rear northwest corner is a one-story, frame addition with a side-gable roof. Attached to the rear northeast wall is a one story brick addition.
