County JailThis
two-story jail building was constructed in 1912, twenty-one years after the organization
of Sterling County. Built by the Southern Structural Steel Co., it is located
on property deeded to the county by Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Stewart. Stone for the
exterior was quarried locally. The interior includes a downstairs living area
for the sheriff and seven cells on the upper floor. An addition to the rear was
completed in the 1960s.
