Somerset County has placed a 14,000-square-foot county jail on the market with a price tag of $200,000.
In its marketing ad, the county advertises the property as a "roomy brick-and-stone Victorian, complete with security system and razor-wire fencing."
Somerset County Commissioner Philip Roy said the county decided to sell the former lockup after it was shut down when a new county jail was opened in Madison, Maine, with a capacity of 200 beds.
The county has already received proposals to turn the 111-year-old county jail into a restaurant, art gallery, a gift shop or bus station.
Right now, Roy said, the county just wants the property back on the tax rolls.
