PERRYSBURG, Ohio — A landmark that helped shape Wood County’s early history is now looking for its next caretaker.
The Old Wood County Jail, located at 240 W. Indiana Ave. in downtown Perrysburg, has been listed for sale, offering buyers the chance to own one of Northwest Ohio’s most unique historic properties.
Constructed in 1847, the brick building served as the Wood County Jail until 1870 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of its most distinctive features remains intact today, with all six original jail cells still preserved inside the home.
The property has been owned by the same family since 1918. While originally configured as three one-bedroom apartments, it has more recently been used as a single-family residence.
The approximately 2,960-square-foot home includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms and sits on a prominent double corner lot in the heart of downtown Perrysburg. The listing notes the property offers the flexibility to remain a single-family home or be adapted for a multi-generational living arrangement while preserving its historic character.
Located just a short walk from downtown shops, restaurants, parks and schools, the former jail is considered one of Perrysburg’s most recognizable historic buildings and represents a rare opportunity for a buyer interested in preserving a piece of local history.
More information about the property, including photos (includes the cells) and listing details, is available through the listing agent at https://240windianaavenue.danberry.com/.
