Mohave County Jail
Built 1910
Noteworthy as one of the first cast-in-place concrete structures in Kingman, the
county jail building was constructed in 1910. Metal floors in the jail cell area are a
unique feature which has caused jailers to call the cells, "natural lie detectors."
The Mohave County Jail is one of the few historic detached county jail buildings
remaining in the State of Arizona.
