Location: 514 West
Liberty Street
The Jefferson County Jail, circa 1905, was designed in the Romanesque
Revival style by the firm of D.X. Murphy. The building is in two parts,
the administrative building on the east side which appears open to the
public and the cellblock building on the west which gives the impression
of an impenetrable fortress. This building was added to the National Register
of Historic Places in 1973.
