The Noble County Sheriff's House and Jail in Albion, Indiana, was built in 1875 as a combined residence for the sheriff and county jail, reflecting a practical arrangement common at the time. Designed by Thomas J. Tolan and Son of Fort Wayne, the red-brick building blends Second Empire and Gothic Revival architecture in an unusually elaborate civic design. Its notable features include round-arched windows, a three-story projecting entrance tower, and a mansard roof on a 2½-story structure. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, it remains an important part of the Albion Courthouse Square Historic District and preserves local government and law-enforcement history.
