About Old Kootenai County Jail
The Old Kootenai county Jail was built in 1890, when Rathdrum was the seat of Kootenai County. The building served as the Sheriff’s Office and Jail until 1908 when, in a bitterly contested election that featured allegations of ballot box stuffing, impassioned town hall meetings and a secret midnight raid, the courthouse and jail were moved to Coeur d’Alene. -from idahoheritage.org
