Description
Photograph of an exterior view of an old, wooden jail in Cambria, San Luis Obispo County, August, 1938. The small, wooden jail stands at center with a long, U-shaped lock across its door. A small sign hangs above the door which reads "Cambria City Jail. Dirt lies in the foreground while tall plants and trees stand across the background. The jail is a relic of early American days and was probably built in the 1970's. The jail stands south of the central port of the town.
