The building is set on a side street, a half block west of Waynesville's Main Street (photo #6). The short side of the building faces Chapman Street, and is set only five feet back from the road. On its west side the building is edged by an alley. To the east of the building, the slope of the land allows for an exposed west foundation which contains entrances to the building's basement. To the Known locally as the Lockup, the building consists of two sections, front and rear, built c. 1881 and c. 1886, respectively. The front portion measures 27 by 20 feet and the rear lintels and sills at windows and doors. A clear division in the brick masonry exists at the connection between the two sections. The fieldstone foundation, which is exposed on the east side of the building, also shows a distinct change in the appearance of the foundation at the break between the sections (photo #8).

The gabled roof of the building is covered with standing seam metal. The building has slightly projecting eaves with a wood fascia, soffit and frieze with cornice returns at the gable ends (photos #1 and #2). Toward the front of the roof can be seen evidence of the building, but which were removed from the building in recent years. The cupola and bell remain in the possession of the Wayne Township Fire Department, however, which has set in the ridge line and located just beyond the front section of the building man door on the east and a larger vehicular door on the west.

The lockup windows were barred; there is one vertical flat iron strap remaining on the rear window, with bolts that anchored the window bars. (These were likely flat iron straps set in a vertical and horizontal cross work pattern.) On the interior the building contains two rooms, front and back. The front room was used historically as the engine house for the village fire department (photos #13-16) and the rear room was used as the village jail or lockup (photos #9-12).

The interior in both rooms has wood tongue and groove flooring, plaster on brick walls, and plaster ceilings on wood lathe.

Used for nearly 75 years as the village firehouse and lockup, this building is important under Criterion A as the only remaining 19" century building used for municipal government purposes in the Village of Waynesville. Built between 1881-1886, the building is a significant vestige of late 19 century small-town efforts to provide a from local communities to larger county jails. The small-scale lockup was common in many 19"h century towns, serving for the overnight detention of vagrants, drunks, and identified in Ohio to date, and these are discussed below. As an engine house, this building is significant because of its role in the development of the small town volunteer ladder truck, symbolizing the early bucket brigades that were used to fight fires in the known as Old Faithful, was a significant advance in fire fighting for Waynesville.

History of the Building The land on which the building sits is part of David Evans' Addition to the Village of Waynesville, platted in 1846. During the preceding 25 years, Waynesville had seen steady 1850, to 745). While it remained a small town, Waynesville's growth revealed the need for a village lockup to help solve problems created by the added population, as well as a means to fight fires in the town. Unfortunately, it was a major fire on Main Street on April 7,1900, that destroyed all governmental records for the village of Waynesville, making it difficult to trace the history of the village's municipal services prior to that date. The history that follows relies instead upon local history accounts and newspaper articles used.

The exception is when a direct quotation is given from local ordinances, which typically referred to the building as the "village prison." other minor offenders. Only a few other examples of this building type have been when short-term confinement was handled locally, before temporary incarceration shifted the building is an important and well-preserved example of a property type, the combined Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio late 1885 and first steam pump engine in early 1886.

(8-86) NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Waynesville Engine House and Lockup Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio Deed records show that the village of Waynesville purchased the lot for this building on April 28, 1881, from Elwood and Mary Meeks for $150. Elwood Meeks was listed in the 1878 Warren County Directory as a shoemaker.

The Meeks had owned this and the lot adjacent to it on Chapman Street (then known as Tyler Street) since 1856, apparently building a house on the adjacent lot. During the 1880s, with a population of nearly 800 people, the village of Waynesville made significant advances in its fire fighting capabilities as well as its ability to house prisoners through the construction of this building. Although its exact date of construction could not be verified through primary or secondary sources, it is logical to assume that the building dates from 1881 or 1882, with the rear section constructed a few years after, most likely in 1886. Fire Department History Newspaper accounts from the 1850s show that efforts were underway in early 1853 to hold a subscription drive to purchase a fire engine for the village. A volunteer fire purchased.

Thirty-two years later, a Waynesville News article of December 26, 1885, referred to this engine as the old Buckeye Substitute, a second-hand affair that worked Times had changed, however, according to the article, and "we are better provided for shelter, at least." The change that had occurred was the village's purchase of the lot in 1881 and new truck and ladder was purchased for $200 and then in February, 1885, the Waynesville Township House, a building constructed by the Township in 1878 and located on Main Street in Waynesville (a two story brick building, this structure was likely the site of many News for the year ending May 2, 1885. On March 21, 1885, the News noted that "The bell for our Fire Department has arrived and will be hung atop of the building." Hook and Ladder Company was officially organized. The meeting was held at the Wayne local meetings).

The village council was urged to purchase a bell to be rung in case of construction of a building to house its fire fighting apparatus.

1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places It was not long after the purchase of the new hook and ladder truck that the village council opted to try out a new fire engine, this one another hand-operated engine. There was considerable debate in the community over whether or not to invest in this new engine, which would cost $1,200. The machine weighed 1,800 pounds, with a pump with 7-inch cylinder and 500 feet of rubber hose. The hand operation would require the strength of 20 men. According to the December 26, 1885, Waynesville News article mentioned above, there were many in opposition to this, saying that it was "a man-killer, and that there would rarely ever be sufficient muscular force available to render the thing efficient in case of fire." A horse-powered or steam-powered engine was favored by these.

Some argued that a reservoir located at a proper elevation with sufficient outlets would be best, while "others contend that our present appliances of ladders and buckets are all we could manage effectively" Finally, in February of 1886, the village took the step of leasing an Ahrens Steam Fire model, was operated by a steam boiler which powered the pump. Built by the Ahrens 1886. Calling it "A Thing of Beauty," the Waynesville News editorialized in favor of the won't do to bank on past luck or discount the future, and it is infinitely better to be safe than sorry; and if safety can be bought with the Ahrens steamer, by all means let us buy built below the lock-up would have satisfied that need. As the hand-operated pumps did, this engine used water collected in street cisterns to fight the fires.

Additional street cisterns were added in Waynesville following the acquisition of the Ahrens steamer. when the Waynesville News article mentioned above ("A Thing of Beauty") talks about today)." The building was also being called the Engine House at that time, as seen in Ordinance No. 57 published in the April 10, 1886, Waynesville News. Through the ordinance, the village council assigned the care of the Engine House and all fire apparatus The building was used by the village of Waynesville as its only Engine House, even after the addition of motorized fire trucks, until 1952, when a new fire station was constructed Engine for one year.

Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio Operation of the Waynesville Fire Department was turned over to the Wayne Township Trustees in 1955. The Wayne Township Fire Department still serves the village of Waynesville today, and has continued to use the Engine House space for storage over the The earliest references to a lockup being located in Waynesville were found in newspaper articles from 1865 and early 1866, when the community was debating whether or not the village needed to erect a building to hold prisoners. On January 9, 1866, the village council passed an ordinance to erect the lockup. On January 16, 1866, a report in the Miami Gazette discussed the findings of a council committee that had been assigned to by 7 feet high, made of two inch plank, doubled and securely spiked together.

This according to the report, would leave a vacant space "which would give room for a stove and make a comfortable place for the Marshall, in case of emergency." Only a few days later, the council rejected the plan for a frame lockup, and resolved instead that the walls of the building be made of stone. An original plan to lease property for the lockup on site on South Street (exact location unknown) in February, 1866. the amount of $400 to pay for it, the lockup did not become a reality for Waynesville until village council passed ordinances to lease a building and land owned by David Mason at a cost of $250. The location of this first lockup is not known. David Mason's name of property at any time. The lockup was in use during the 1870s, with several references to local incarcerations in newspaper articles of the day, usually for drunkenness.

In March of 1872, council passed an ordinance saying that the village should not keep a prisoner in the lockup for more than years. yearly rental of $60 for use as a village lockup and to erect an iron cell in the building at a village." The committee recommended building a plain frame building, 14 by 16 feet and four days before going before the Mayor for a hearing.

It is speculated that the brick building, referred to variously as the Truck House, the Hook and Ladder House, and then the Engine House, was expanded by the brick addition that enlarged the engine house and provided a location for the lockup at the back of the house.

The addition also allowed for the construction of a cistern below the building, a feature that was needed to fire the boiler for the new steam pumper engine that had just been acquired.. Bone's 1891 Map of Waynesville (attached) shows the building in its current location simply with the label of "prison" The 1895 Sanborn Insurance Company map of Waynesville, the first one available (also attached), shows the building in "Calaboose," a slang term for jail. Following the destruction of all village records in 1900, the village council met to adopt a series of new ordinances re-establishing the governance of the town. The first order of business for the council was to find a place to hold its meetings, as the town hall was destroyed in the fire. The council determined that "all meetings of the Council shall be apparently the only property owned by the village at the time.

(The council only met here a few months before leasing a room on Main Street for a council chambers.) Another ordinance enacted at the time was one that reiterated that the Village Marshall "shall take charge of the Engine House and care of the Fire Engine, and village prison under direction Engine House in Waynesville is hereby adopted and designated as the village prison, and sometimes referred to as the crib or the pound - was often found in the smallest of towns. shall, under order of the mayor, be used for the safekeeping and confinement of persons According to The Oxford History of the Prison (1995), the diminutive lockup - also charged with or sentenced to imprisonment for a breach of the ordinances of said village."

If the crime warranted something more serious than a fine, the prisoner might be sent to a county jail or the workhouse in a larger city. The building in Waynesville continued to serve its the county jail in Lebanon for temporary incarceration. It is interesting that the nearby village of Corwin, located just to the east of Waynesville across the Little Miami River, has a lockup from the same period as Waynesville. Although built of frame instead of brick, this one-story building is similar to the Waynesville structure in that it served a dual purpose. The front room was used as the village council chambers and the rear room contained the iron cell of the lockup. Like the Waynesville Lockup, it also dates from the 1880s, having been built in 1888.

Corwin is a small village that was established as a result of the construction of the Little Miami Railroad in 1844 but did not reach the size or prosperity of nearby Waynesville. The Corwin council house and lockup also appears to be eligible for the National Register. Only two other small-scale lockups have been documented through the National Register or the Ohio Historic Inventory. These are the Seville Jail in Medina County and the Freeport Jail in Harrison County. The Seville Jail is a moved building (1995) that was common bond red brick with a gabled standing-seam roof. The Freeport Jail is a small built for a single purpose. The Waynesville and Corwin jails, both combined with other governmental functions, are the only small-town lockups to have been documented to date in southwestern Ohio.

The Waynesville Engine House and Lockup is also the only village government building town hall records and a block of Main Street buildings, the town council passed a resolution to build a waterworks and electric light plant in the village. The one-story brick plant that was constructed later that year is still located today on South Main Street at the southern end of the village.
