Old Pickens Gaol

Designed by H.D. Breeding and built by B.E. Grandy in 1902, the Pickens County gaol housed not only prisoners but also local sheriffs and their families for years. In its first year, three members of Sheriff J.H.G. McDaniel's family died there of typhoid fever. In 1976, the building became home of the Pickens County Museum of Art & History, and it was expanded to include a cultural center in 2006. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
