Former Town Hall and Jail, Aroostook County, 1911 - 1968
The former Town Office and Jail are located in Island Falls, Aroostook County, Maine. The small town is located in heavily wooded northern Maine in a relatively sparsely settled area. The building is locally significant under Criteria A for its association with town government. The building represents the small community's response to the loss by fire of the previous town office and many associated town records. The decorative concrete block and poured concrete construction ensured preservation of town records, and provided secure holding cells for local law enforcement.
