The
original date of the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Offices and original jail
construction was over 100 + years ago, (P1,
P2,
P3). The Jail Annex construction was in 1988 (P4,
P5,
P6). The approximate size of the Sheriff’s
Office is 4536 square feet with two stories plus a basement. The approximate size of the jail is 18,900
square feet with 3 stories plus basement.
The foundation of the sheriff’s office is stone. The foundation of the jail annex is
concrete. The foundations are in good
condition. |
We
recommend the jail building be demolished in favor of a new judicial annex. |

re-pointed before painting, (P11) |
