Old Muhlenberg County Jail

The three-story stucco building features a red tile roof, a Mission-style dormer with quatrefoil vent, and porches with hipped tile roofs at three entrances.

Constructed in 1912 as the third correctional facility in Greenville, the Old Muhlenberg County Jail operated until its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

The building represents early 20th-century Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in Kentucky, displaying the period's approach to correctional facility design and construction methods.

Located at 108 Court Row, the structure occupies 0.2 acres of land and maintains its original architectural elements, including the characteristic red-tiled roof and porches.

The jail incorporated three separate entrance porches, each protected by matching hipped tile roofs, creating a symmetrical design uncommon for correctional facilities of that era.
