Original Helix Jail

This small jail building was moved here from its original site (today, behind the Helix City Shop) after prisoners attempted to destroy it by burning the door off it. A new concrete jail was built to replace it and this building became Dr. McKinney's woodshed.

The building does not have a foundation and was built in the crib style where boards were laid face-to-face to form the walls.

The jail building is now a storage shed for a private residence.
