Description
This county jail was designed by architects J. G. Link and C. S. Haire in the Beaux-Arts style. A Smithsonian exhibition of Teddy Roosevelt's African hunting trophies provided a model for the ten terra cotta lion heads beneath the building's cornice. The building was used as the Silver Bow County Courthouse from 1909 to 1912.
