Carey's Hall

Carey’s Hall was completed in 1854 by local contractor John W. Carey. In the early 1870s it was awarded as first prize in the Monumental Building lottery, and over the years it housed many businesses. Carey also constructed the Shelby County Jail, helped build Sidney’s first railroad, and laid out the Village of Anna, which he named after his daughter. On the west wall appears his admonition: “Post no bills here.”
