Not just a jail....
The jail at Custer seldom housed a criminal and was unique in its construction. The walls were 2" x 6" lumber laid flat on top of each other similar to log buildings. The floor and ceiling had the same size boards laid on edge. One small barred window and a steel door completed the building. The jail was very strong and well insulated for the cold weather. In later years, when used as a home, a woodshed was added to the side. A porch across the front and a wooden door replaced the original iron door that became a walkway in front of the porch.| HM Number | HM22QH |
