Old Taylor County Jail
Old Taylor County Jail, County jail in Perry, Florida
The Old Taylor County Jail features reinforced concrete construction and masonry vernacular architecture with a connected sheriff's residence at 400 North Washington Street.
Built in 1912 by architect Benjamin Bosworth Smith, this correctional facility earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
The structure reflects early twentieth-century law enforcement practices through its design, which combined administrative functions with incarceration facilities in one building.
The jail occupies one acre of land in Perry and remains accessible as a historical site for those interested in regional correctional facility architecture.
This building stands as the oldest remaining structure in Taylor County and represents one of the few remaining jail-sheriff combined residences in Florida.
