Unique Construction

Ever see any building built like this?



Why?  Why, why, why?  I'm always wondering why people do what they do.  You have to admit that this looks like a pretty solid piece of construction...  But why pay to have the lumber milled into boards?  And then stack them this way?  Insulation from northern winters?  Hmmm.

Well.  Keep walkin,' Granma...


Ah, ha!  It's a JAIL!  The Prescott City jail to be exact.  It was built in 1903 to hold "those arrested for being drunk, disorderly, or misconduct."  The planks weren't just stacked on top of each other; they were spiked together.  AFTER it was completely built, then they sawed out the door...  Pretty cool, huh?
