The jail consists of a guard space with a desk and wood burning stove and a rear cell room with two hanging bunks. It is separated from the guard room by a concrete block wall and iron door. This jail was in used until 1954 when a new jail was built. It was restored between 2004 and 2006 by Verlin Boda as his Eagle Scout Project. A 1924 map shows that there also was another structure located here, a one-story building 18-feet high and appears to have been an electric power house uing both oil and gasoline fuel (located where picnic table is).
