Old Jail Museum & Library
|
The Old Jail was built in 1913, a two story brick structure with a pyramidal roof. Except for the addition of a wing at the East elevation in 1930, the building has retained a remarkable degree of original detailing of the period. Particularly notable are the quoins, which frame the main building and are unusually stylish details for a jail. This is one of the oldest public buildings of Alexander County and one of the oldest jails still standing in North Carolina.
