DSherwoodD Enterprises, LLC is repairing and restoring this property to provide an unique and interesting space for local businesses to operate out of. Upon completion of the projects, the building will become a multi-use property. There will be areas to host events, conference and banquets rooms, prison and haunted tours, offices and meeting rooms of various sizes, retail spaces, and much more. DSherwoodD Enterprises, LLC does not intend to initially operate any businesses within this property. The goal is to work with the local business owners so that the businesses that will operate out of the Old Stone Jail will not compete with any existing businesses in the area. The purpose of the Old Stone Jail is to become an attraction destination and serve as an anchor to compliment the existing businesses within the downtown area of Ebensburg. The Old Stone Jail is also working through plans to provide shuttle services between downtown and parking areas that will be determined.
