"South of the courthouse on College Avenue is the
old Washington County Jail. Completed in 1897,
this building, with its three-foot-thick cut-stone
walls, boasts the semicircular arched openings
and crenelated corner towers of the Romanesque
architectural style. The steel jail cells, surrounded
by concrete floors and walls, were located on
the building's second floor and in the basement.
The sheriff's family lived in quarters on the main
floor. Today the building is used as commercial
office space."
