PERRYSBURG, Ohio — One of downtown Perrysburg’s oldest surviving buildings has been placed on the market, giving buyers the opportunity to own a property with nearly 180 years of local history.
The former Wood County Jail, located at 240 W. Indiana Ave., was constructed in 1847 and housed county inmates until 1870. Today, the building remains on the National Register of Historic Places and still contains its six original jail cells, preserving a unique piece of Wood County’s past.
According to the listing, the property has remained in the same family since 1918. Over the years, it has served as both a three-unit residence and, more recently, a single-family home.
The two-story home offers approximately 2,960 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Situated on a double corner lot in downtown Perrysburg, the property is within walking distance of local parks, schools, restaurants and shopping.
The listing suggests the home could continue as a private residence or be adapted for multi-generational living while maintaining its historic character.
The property was listed for sale on Aug. 5. Additional information, photographs and listing details are available through the property’s online listing at https://240windianaavenue.danberry.com/.
