Making a surprising twenty-first-century conversion, this Greek Revival jail is now the county's information technology department. The three-bay two-story brick building has a wooden cornice beneath a low-pitched hipped roof, wooden lintels over the openings, and a small pedimented Doric portico sheltering the entrance.
