The Fairview City Jail was constructed in 1915. It never really served as a jail, but was considered necessary after Fairview adopted a series of anti-crime and anti-vice measures after its incorporation in 1908. It was constructed as an annex to the 1912 City Hall, which functioned as a City Hall, general store, library, post office, dance floor and theater. After the City Hall was demolished in 1979, the jail was a freestanding building in city park. Today the simple concrete building functions as a museum. It is the last original correctional facility remaining in Multnomah County. Source: Oregon State Historic Preservation Office.
