Bars on the Window


The date, 1915, is written above the door.  This small building is the old Mendota jail. 

The City provides tours of the Historic City Jail during Mendota Day held in July each year.

    Back when you didn't need so much space in jail :) What a great little building.

    I'm surprised at how small it is...maybe there weren't as many crooks back then?

    I hope they don't have a big crime wave. I don't think there is enough room.

    Is it used for anything these days Kate? I can believe there was less crime, the population was so much smaller!
