The Old Stone Jail in Ebensburg is foreboding. The front section completed in 1872 is a stone Gothic Revival fortress
with cell blocks at the rear and a central tower on the facade. This section is fondly referred to as the Castle. In 1910, a long brick cell block
was added to the west and titled as the Annex. The addition's resemblance to a large, barred barracks only increases the dreary mood of the building.
