Thanks for the comments, The jail is a beautiful building.  It was build back when public buildings were a source of pride and not built to the specs of the lowest bidder.  The style was actually modeled after the French Bastille.. looks sorta like a castle.  On the right you see that the Sheriff and his family lived in what appeared to be a victorian home fronting on Main Street.  On the 4th street side is the Jail entrance much more severe with iron bars and solid steel doors.
