The Bronwood Calaboose is a calaboose built in 1900 in Bronwood, Georgia. It is a wooden jail, about 16 by 9 feet (4.9 m × 2.7 m) in plan, with a gable roof, built of heavy sawn timbers.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
It was deemed "significant as a rare and intact example of a turn-of-the-century wooden municipal jail. It stands in contrast to the larger brick county jails, the most common type of historical jail in the state."[2]
It is located on First Street (Georgia State Route 118) between Johnson and Thornton Streets in Bronwood.[2]
