Franklin County Sheriff's Residence and Jail
Franklin County Sheriff's Residence and Jail, Historic residence and jail in Hampton, United States.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Residence and Jail combines residential quarters with detention facilities in a two-story Italianate structure at 18 East Central Avenue.
Built in 1880 by local attorney D.W. Dow with cells from P.J. Pauly & Bro. of St. Louis, the facility operated as a jail until 1988.
The building exemplifies 19th-century law enforcement practices where sheriffs and their families lived adjacent to the prisoners they supervised.
Female and juvenile prisoners occupied the second-floor cell, while male inmates were held in a separate cell block behind the main residence.
The sheriff's wife managed daily operations including meal preparation and laundry services for inmates while residing in the same building complex.
