This building was the first county jail built in Umatilla Landing in 1865 and was abandoned when the county seat moved to Pendleton in 1868. Joseph Cunha moved it to Echo and used it as a smoke house. Shirley Cunha Snow donated the building to the city in 2000. Kinsman Foundation Grant funded the move and reconstruction.
