County Provides Fundings for Repairs to Historic Jail
(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has voted to provide $7,500 to the County Historical Society to help with repairs to the historic former county jail and sheriff’s residence in Seneca.
The Commission took the action last week after receiving a funding request earlier this month from the Historical Society for a more than $39,000 roofing and masonry restoration project at the building that houses their museum.
Darrylann Rial with the Historical Society told the Commission that the building is deteriorating. She said the roofing is leaking and bricks need re-pointing.
Rial said they plan to apply for a grant for the project, but need matching funds.
The sheriff’s residence and former jail, built in 1879, were added to the Kansas and National Registers of Historic Places in 2004.
