Lower Lake Stone Jail, Historic stone jail in Lower Lake, California.

The Lower Lake Stone Jail stands as a compact stone structure with iron reinforcements at 16118 Main Street in Lake County, California.

Stephen Nicolai and the Copsey brothers constructed this detention facility in 1876 during the local quicksilver mining operations at Sulphur Bank Mine.

The jail represents the development of law enforcement infrastructure in California mining communities during the late nineteenth century expansion period.

Visitors can find this California Historical Landmark number 429 directly on Main Street, where it stands as an educational site.

This structure holds the distinction of being among the smallest correctional facilities constructed in the United States.
