c. 1830, probably Dabney Cosby; 1833 addition. 3834 Old Buckingham Rd.

Located behind the courthouse, this former jail was renovated as an office building in 1951 and now houses the Powhatan County Historical Society. The double-pile center-passage building is a three-bay two-story brick structure with a Flemish bond facade that has reworked openings.
