The Old Brunswick
County Jail
The
Old Brunswick County Jail is located in
Southport, NC on the corner
of Rhett and Nash Streets, across from the
Olde Smithville
Burying
Ground. Built in 1904 for a cost of $6,738, the jail was built to
replace the old city jail, which was destroyed by fire. The jail is
a two-story brick building. The jail includes two cells, constructed
of flat iron bars wrapped together. Each of the two jail cells
includes four bunks. There is also a runabout on the second floor of
the jail. The jail was used until 1971 when a new jail was built to
the rear. The Southport Historical Society has maintained the old
jail since 1984.
