(KNZA)--A date has been set for the sale of the former Brown County Jail.
The Brown County Commission Monday authorize the publication of a notice setting the public auction for Friday, July 29th.
The auction, which will be conducted by Sheriff John Merchant, will take place on the 1st floor of the Brown County Courthouse at 10:00 that morning.
Merchant will offer tours of the old jail to interested parties on the morning of June 25th from 9 to noon.
The Commission voted unanimously at their June 6th meeting to put the building built in 1924 up for public auction.
