Designed by H.D. Breeding. B.E. Grandy built Pickens County gaol (jail) in 1902. For years it housed not only prisoners but also local sheriffs and their families. In the first year three members of Sheriff J.H.G. McDaniel's family died here of typhoid fever. In 1976 the building became home of the Pickens County Museum of Art & History. It was expanded to include a cultural center in 2006. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
