The west side of the adjacent residential property (Photo #3). The north side of the building backs up to a completed in May 1898. The building sits on a river rock limestone foundation. The exterior walls are white painted clapboards (Photo # 2). The gabled roof of the building is covered with a standing seam terne roof, which has been painted black (Photo #5).

The gable end of the building faces the street. The narrow fascia, soffet, and frieze typify the later and simpler style of architecture used in buildings during this period (Photo # 1). Set in the ridgeline of the center of the roof is a red brick chimney (Photo #5). A center door with symmetrical windows, equidistant to either side, characterizes the flat front façade of the building. At the peak of the gabled front and rear are decorative vents (Photo # 1). The original door is a four-paneled wood door, which has been painted black and sports the original white porcelain knob. The door is framed with three and one-half inch wide trim at the sides and a five inch wide molding at the top. A white aluminum cross buck style storm door was added in recent years. A sign, hand painted by resident and previous council member, Raymond Lamb, hangs above the door (Photo #6).

The original windows are wood 2/2's with a fixed upper sash and once moveable lower sash (Photo # 7). This correlates with windows of the style in the very late nineteenth century. Modern day, black, vinyl shutters have been added to the windows on the front façade of the building (Photo #10). The west elevation contains two windows and a door. The southwest window is identical to the front façade windows without the adornment of shutters. The northwest window is barred since this part of the building held the Marshall's office and jail (Photo #2). The original bars, which have been painted black, are made of flat iron and are meshed in a three and one-half inch grid. It appears that the bars were built into the window frame rather than attached after construction (Photo #8).

The back of the building has one flat iron barred window on the northwest end, which is identical to the window on the west side. It is surmised that there is only one rear window since the jail cell sits in the northeast corner of the rear interior room The east side of the building contains two windows, one barred and one unbarred.

This correlates to the interior room functions with the northeast window in the room used as a Marshall's office and jail and the southeast window in the room used as a council room/mayor's office. All windows are original 2/2's with a fixed upper sash and moveable lower sash and identical molding/trim pieces. A cistern is located on the southeast side of the building (Photo #3). On the interior, the building contains two rooms, front and back. The front room was built as a mayor's office and council room (Photos #11 & 12), while the rear room housed the Marshall's office and jail cell (Photos # 13 & 14). The interior in both rooms has original wood, tongue and groove flooring and plaster on wood lathe walls and ceiling. The interior window and door trim is characterized by five-inch wide wood inches wide with decorative spindle corner pieces (Photo # 17).

The council room window and door trim is varnished while the jail room molding and trim has been painted connects the two rooms and is offset on the interior wall separating the two rooms (Photo #18). This door was added in September 1947 when the building's heating system was converted from coal to fuel oil. By connecting the two rooms with a door, only one stove needed to be purchased, which could then heat both rooms. The council house was wired for electricity in February 1941. Today the council meeting room is equipped with a natural gas stove. A window air conditioner has been added to the southeast window in 1898, separates the council room.It runs north and south (Photo #19) and visually separates the room into two areas, one five feet seven inches by fifteen feet and one eleven and one-half feet by fifteen feet.

Under criteria A, it remains as the only nineteenth century building still in use for village governmental purposes in the historically significant Waynesville/Corwin area.

The Marshall's office and jail, used for over ninety years for law enforcement in the village of Corwin, continues to house the only small town lockup still preserved in its original state as part of a multi-purpose governmental structure. A lockup is described as a small, secured structure used to house criminals in villages or other small municipalities. Following a hearing, criminals could either be released or sent to a larger county or state jail for imprisonment. The term lockup and jail can be used interchangeably. Additionally, Corwin has the distinction of having been ruled by "petticoat politics" during the 1930s when women filled all major elected governmental amendment in 1920 it is truly remarkable that only ten years later such a small which continues in use today as a council meeting house and mayor's office.

As such, monthly council meetings have been held in this building since May 1898. The Marshall's office has served as an office for the local sheriff or chief of police up until the late 1980s. The small scale, single cell lockup was used to hold vagrants and drunks when short-term confinement was handled by local jurisdictions. The land on which the building sits is part of the J. N. Lemmons Addition to the Village of Corwin, platted in August 1905. Although Corwin was founded in 1844 when the Little Miami Railroad was built, this small but thriving village did not seek incorporation seven inhabitants and 53 electorates, Corwin became known as the Hamlet of Corwin.

The contract for building the council house/jail was awarded to Thomas Zell, a local businessman. Not much could be found in historical documents about Thomas Zell other than his father owned a business in this area and that he had family in several small villages surrounding the Corwin area.

No record of the family appears in village documents after the early twentieth century. The single cell jail was ordered from E. T. Barnum, Detroit, Michigan on February 21, 1898 at a cost of $86.00 less a five per cent discount for paying in cash and paying within fifteen days. The total cost of the jail came to $79.30.

After researching Ohio law, she wrote a letter to the Ohio State Auditor asking how she could go about getting funds for Corwin. The auditor suggested that she first collect five years of taxes that had not been paid to Corwin from Warren County!

Until the 1950s Throughout Corwin's history the number of residents serving on council fluctuated national notoriety in the 1930s by electing a majority of women to serve as leaders of the local government. The press dubbed this unusual situation,"Petticoat Politics" in two elections. Council member Lura Werntz was appointed mayor after Julia reference to the council's attire.

Today Corwin has a mayor, a clerk/treasurer, and six council members. Council continues to meet in the small council house the second Monday of each month and the mayor continues to use the council house as his office. In 1989, council voted to add a one per cent emergency income tax in order to increase village revenue. In 1997 the village annexed several hundred acres from Wayne Township, where a housing development has been started. With the addition of over one hundred houses within the inhabitants will soon swell to well over five hundred residents.

Although the business district dwindled after the close of the railroad in the 1970s, the construction of the Little Miami Bikeway in the 1980s has brightened the outlook for business ventures in the village proper. Regardless of the growth of Corwin, village residents continue their pride in the history of their small community and look forward to many more years of council meetings in the historical council house. Marshall's Office and Jail History Mr. Durham declined to accept this position so William Hixon was then appointed on July 25, 1895 at a salary of $20.00 per month. Council then approved monies to be placed in a police fund so that necessary law enforcement items could be purchased Since Corwin did not have a jail, council voted to rent jail space as needed from the adjacent village of Waynesville.

When council decided to build a mayor's office and council house it was determined that a Marshall's office and jail was also needed. Council accepted a bid for the small-scale single cell lockup from E. T. Barnum in The village lockup was used in the early twentieth century to house vagrants, drunks and During the latter part of the twentieth century the jail was used only as a temporary holding cell. Use of the Corwin lockup correlates with historical accounts of similarly sized jails used as a temporary mode of incarceration until prisoners could be brought before the mayor or transferred to the county facility.
