Dover Lockup Photo Gallery

The Dover lockup was constructed in 1904 from cut red sandstone, a rock indigenous to the Dover area. A louvered cupola at the peak of the roof would have provided ventilation for the cells. The lockup has three windows, two in the left side wall and one in the rear wall opposite the door.

The lockup was originally located at the intersection of City Hall Drive and Herrold Drive, two small alleys about a block north of the Dover square.

The Dover lockup was relocated from its original location to the Dover Community Park on West Canal Road in Dover Township.

The inside of the lockup currently has none of the cells that were once in the building. It is presumed that the cells would have been located on the side of the building opposite the door and windows. The number of cells that were in the building is not currently known.

The Dover lockup is now publicly owned.
