This historic property was the original Ephraim City Hall & Jail. Built in 1872 and crafted with the same oolite limestone used in the construction of the Manti Temple, one feels like you are stepping back to the Wild West. A winding metal staircase connects three levels. From the warden's loft up top, to the living hall, kitchen, and bunk bedroom on the main floor, to the downstairs walkout basement. The basement houses a prison cell bedroom, bathroom, & parlor. Authentic historical artifacts throughout the property, provide a museum like experience. Tributes to Utah's frontier days and memorabilia of wilder times abound. The restoration of the jail has preserved the charm of a bygone era. The mixed-use zoning allows you to begin your Southwestern dream life as a homeowner or enables you to take advantage of a turn-key AirBnB business opportunity to share a piece of history with settler visitors from near or far. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate only. Buyer is advised to obtain an independent measurement.
