United States historic place From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beebe Jail is a historic jail building in Beebe, Arkansas. The small single-story concrete structure is set on an alley south of East Illinois Street on the east side of North Main Street. It is distinctive for its slightly rounded concrete roof, with a parapet rising above the front (southwest) facade. The interior has two small cells, each with a barred window, and a small vestibule area. The jail was built as a Works Progress Administration project in 1934.[2]
