Old Jail Inn Parke County Information
Description
Chapter One: The Old Jail Inn, also known as the original Parke County Sheriff's office and jail served the county from 1879 to 1998. It was also the residence for the sheriff and his family. The Italianate building is a brick typical of the late 19th century with a porch that was added in later years. Behind the jail is the boiler house that was something of a forerunner in the technology of the times because it used hot water heat that heated not only the sheriff's office and jail but was piped underground through a tunnel to heat the courthouse as well. The jail, courthouse and boiler room were designed by the same architect from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Thomas J. Tolan and Son. The boiler house was the site of the last hanging in Parke County, Earl Stout, 1888. Chapter Two: On December 23, 2009 Debra Olson sighted a round top steel door just inside the basement of the jail. Interested in using the door and two matching windows a pending new home construction, she ventured just two blocks to find the owner of the building. PCI was lead by Kathy Harkrider, and 20 minutes later she wrote a check for the steel, and made plans to remove after the out of state check cleared the bank! Returned 4 days later and Kathy informed her the door, windows and the building were hers! Leaving confused, shocked and overwhelmed she returned four days later to inspect what she now owned. Walking through the old, gross smelling and shambles of a building, it came to her, “it’s a bed and breakfast”! Not knowing anything about the industry, nor about remodeling a jail, she turned an eye sore into a world known inn! Scrapers, tons of debris, power sprayers, plumbers, electricians and 380 gallons of paint later, on her father’s birthday, May 31, 2010 she hosted her first guests. Chapter Three : Troy Riggs and Patty Hawley purchased the business in April of 2021. Their story…..to be announced.
The Old Jail Inn is a destination spot in a county with three state parks, a large biker bar and the most covered bridges in one county in the world. People have come from around the world to stay in jail. The Drunk Tank Winery is the only wine tasting bar in the county and proudly has its very own Old Jail Inn Red Wine made and bottled by Huber Winery in Borden Indiana. During their stay, guests are encouraged to use the original jail clothes and uniforms to dress up and take pictures. We encourage groups to take over the entire Inn, so they can move around freely and enjoy the entire jail experience. The jail comfortably sleeps 18 people, but has the option to accommodate more with newly expanded sleeping options. The story of the Old Jail has been reported in many newspapers across the world. National magazines and tv shows such as Midwest Living, Bagger World Magazine, Indiana Travel magazine, and HGTV have published articles and shows on the Old Jail Inn. The Drunk Tank Winery has been featured on Back Roads Bar.
