20
An old jail was discovered within the walls of a frame house at 332 South Chicago Street in Hot Springs when the residence was being taken down for salvage. Although its earliest history is obscure, it was intended to keep people incarcerated. It is the oldest wooden jail in existence in South Dakota and possibly in all 50 states.
