Ben Hill County Jail

The Ben Hill County Jail is a historic building in Fitzgerald, Georgia, located on Pine Street.

It was built in 1909 in the Romanesque style, the first jail in the 1906-created county.

It was designed by J. Reginald MacEachron, selected by a design competition in which 14 architects submitted proposals for the county's courthouse and jail.

It originally had an elaborately corbeled battlemented tower, but it was shortened between 1920 and 1935.

[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
