Yours for the taking: One 500-inmate jail. Covers 48,000 square feet. Includes 45 sinks, toilets and urinals. Estimated value $6.2 million. Some disassembly required. About $300,000 to $350,000 in disassembly to be exact, according to a Pierce County, Washington estimate. That, plus shipping, would be the sole expense to the company, agency or municipality that removes the County Jail Annex, a windowless steel structure beside the County-City Building on a steep downtown hillside. The annex, built in 1996, won't be needed once a new 1,000-bed jail is opened next month. The structure might be of use to another city or county that needs a jail, said Scott Hogman, county construction projects manager. It could also be reborn as a basketball arena or vehicle maintenance garage, said Dan Cagle, county facilities management director. Dick Ferguson, a county spokesman, said there had been four serious inquiries from Alaska and central Washington state. If no taker is found by the end of this spring, county officials say they'll sell parts of the building for salvage and demolish the rest. |
