Old Jail in St. Augustine, Florida
Visit the Old Jail
As the name suggests, the Old Jail in St. Augustine, Florida is, in fact, a really old jail.
To be more specific, this pink – yes, pink – jail was built in 1891 by Henry Flagler. Although most business men and hotel owners aren’t in the habit of erecting jailhouses, Flagler needed a new jail to replace the old one that was too close to a new hotel and casino he was building. He understood the need for a jail in town, but didn’t want the presence of one scaring off potential tourists (and customers). So Flagler paid to have a new jail built a little bit farther away from his new development and required that it not look like a jail when it was completed, hence the pink exterior and welcoming front porch. The deceptively homey looking building served as the county jail until the 1950s.
Deputy swearing in ceremony in front of pink Old Jail
Today, visitors to St. Augustine can get a tour of the Old Jail from characters in period costumes, including deputies and criminals. The tour will include a look at the jail and hanging gallows, a lesson on the town’s history, and a closer look at life, crime and punishment in the early 1900s.
