Description
English: This is a photograph of the Chattahoochee County Jail located in Cusseta, Georgia. This jail is situated on property that was purchased soon after the county was created on February 13, 1854. Mr. Asbury Bryan was paid $1,250 for the original two story log jail that was completed on July 20, 1855 under the supervision of Sheriff Silas Brown. The dimensions of the log structure were eighteen by twenty-two feet with fifteen inches separating the double walls. The jail was used continuously until the new facility was completed in 1902. At that time, LaFayette Harp severed as sheriff. Constructed in 1902, this two-story fireproof facility was built to replace the previous two-story log jail. The Pauly Jail & Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, Missouri constructed the jail for $5,000. Romanesque influences such as the arched windows and door openings with an extended central bay enhance the exterior appearance of the building, The original prefabricated iron cells with unique corner fireplaces are located on the second floor. The jail served the county until 1975. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1986.
