Barksdale Calaboose

Rhonda Holley and I found this interesting building in Barksdale (Edwards County).  At first glance, I knew it had to be a calaboose.  Upon closer inspection, I was not sure because it was different than any others I have seen.  When I talked to Pat Rogers, a resident of Camp Wood and employee of the local Chamber of Commerce, she did not think it could have been a jail.  Today, she sent email saying that it was “with a Sheriff and all.”  One never knows.  This photo is on the website and more information will be added later.
