The Webbers Falls jail is in immaculate shape for how old this tiny building is. The exact age of this jail is unknown but Sanborn maps dating back to 1894 show the little calaboose located in the same spot that it still sits today. It has two separate interior cells that originally had windows in the rear wall. However, these have been filled in, the date of when this was done is unknown. The jail was also hit hard on one of its rear corners, to repair it bricks were just dry-stacked back and the jail was stuccoed over, probably cover up all the work.
