Saga of the Old Jail

In July 2003, Owensboro-Daviess County lost a significant historic building, when the Old Jail was demolished.

After many years of work, PA was unsuccessful and could not convince our community to Save the Old Jail!. The loss of this treasure was very disheartening to preservation-minded citizens.

Even so, Preservation Alliance continues to promote the values of historic preservation and the importance of the historic architecture that remains standing in our community.
