Old jail in backyard! One acre in Virginia. Circa 1800’s. $95,000

August 9, 2019

Interesting that the old jail is in the backyard. I have done a brief search trying to find history, but no luck so far. The listing states this house was built in 1940. Parts of it are much earlier. I am assuming it was added onto in 1940. Located on 1.02 acres in Rose Hill, Virginia. Some updates have been done. Looking at it…..not sure what those updates are. Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 3,186 square feet. $95,000

From the Zillow listing:
