Keweenaw County Sheriff\u2019s Residence and\u00a0Jail on Right, Courthouse on left.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This structure was designed by Sweatt, though its appearance has since changed. Originally it was a two-and-one-half-story rectangular structure with clapboard walls and a steep-pitch, hip-roof. The rear of the structure, the jail, was constructed of coursed rubble stone. Early photographs also show an open porch across the front of the Sheriff\u2019s Residence. The corner pilasters, an entrance vestibule with Georgian Revival detail, and white paint were applied in 1925.1<\/sup><\/p>\n
