Marker Text: This building was erected in 1895 by the Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis, Mo. The gray granite for the exterior was quarried in the county, the red roof of the Romanesque revival jail provided the building its nickname, and prisoners often spoke of staying over at the "red-top". The first floor was used by the jailer for his office and living quarters. The second floor had four cells and two drunk tanks. The third and fourth floors housed the gallows. (1979)
