This image was included on the 1st National Bank Calendar. It is a photo of the Livingston County Jail and Sheriff's residence that was built around 1888. In May 1887, the Livingston County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to locate the new jail on the west side of the Court House Square in the village of Howell, Michigan.
The Jail continued to be used until 1949 when it was condemned due to its age, unsafe and unsanitary conditions. The new county jail and sheriff residence was built in 1950.
This is a photgraph taken during a Prohibition Raid, showing a large vat of whiskey mash on a farm in Livingston County, Michigan.
