Description
The building was constructed in 1885 and when it moved hands seven years later, it served as the first county courthouse of Grand County Utah. Adjoining the hall was an actual jail that held several convicts of those times. The basic structure of Jailhouse caftill retains the original elements. The kitchen and the store have strong walls that are two feet thick and the door frames are stout iron beams. The other entry doors and windows are intact, standing as mute witnesses. If only they could talk and give me the names of all the past inhabitants of that cell. In the intervening years, the building has been a house, a post office, a store and a crumbling ruin till 1992 when William Petty a connoisseur of heritage architecture and a passionate cook decided to turn the building into a restaurant. Just before it became today's Jailhouse cafthe building suffered neglect in a severely strained Moab's uranium-based economy.
