Inscription. This jail was built ca. 1910 and used to mid 1940. It was moved off this location and used as a shed until 1995, when it was restored and returned to the original location. When it was use it had a brick exterior and a round roof. This jail was very popular during our 'oil boom' days as we had 3 taverns in town. It was also used to house the Noble Bank robbers. The step from the Noble National Bank is also buried in front of the jail.
