HISTORIC BUILLING
WRECKED 81 FIhE
CENTRAL AUTO CO. PLANT FORM.
ERLY COUNTY JAIL, CITY
JAIL AND COURTHOUSE.

Another landmark of Columbia was
swept away when the building occu
pied by the Central Auto Co at the
corner of North Main and Sixth
streets was destroyed by fire THIS
was one Of the oldest buildings in
the city, having been constructed IA
1874 as a county jail, for which pu!-
pose it was used until about 1885. It
was later used as the city lookup
for a number of years, and while the
present courthouse was being con
structed the old building was used as
a county courthouse.
In this building was held the IA
nous Rountree trial in 1905. a. muir
der case that held the interest OF the
people of Maury and adjoining coun-
ties for many months.
The building was substantially con
structed of oldfashioned brick, its
stability being proven when the walls
failed to topple as a result Of the ter
rifle explosion Of large tank of gas
0line. The builders of this edifice
could we'll feel proud of their work,
if they could stand before it today.
