The Union County Jail, also known as Old Union County Jail, in Blairsville, Georgia was built in 1934, a block away from Union County's historic courthouse. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] It is a two-story building with a hipped roof and a one-story porch across its front facade. It is built of rock with, on the front facade, raised mortar. The porch is held up by square wood columns upon rock piers.[2] It served as Union County's jail until the 1970s, when a joint jail shared with Towns County was built. As of 1984, the building held the Blairsville City Hall and also the town's Chamber of Commerce office.[2] It was one of seven county jails reviewed for National Register listing in 1985.[3]
