Clark County Jail, National Register of Historic Places prison in Neillsville, United States.
The Clark County Jail building exhibits Romanesque Revival architecture with strong stone walls, rounded arches, and decorative elements throughout its exterior structure.
Constructed in 1897 by architectural firm Stozie & Schick, this facility operated as both a prison and residence for the county sheriff until its closure in 1978.
The structure includes crenellated battlements on east and west turrets, from which sheriffs monitored public gatherings during the milk riots of the 1920s.
The building now functions as a museum, offering guided tours that showcase the original cells, living quarters, and law enforcement artifacts from the late 19th century.
The facility incorporated dual functionality, with one section serving as a prison while simultaneously housing the sheriff and his family in a separate residential area.
