When the City of Rector was informed that the grant for Phase I had been awarded to begin restoration of the old historic jailhouse on South Main, a few cosmetic touches seemed in order, before the major renovation began. Thanks to the men of the City Maintenance Crew, the tractor that once stood in front of the structure, has now been relocated to the southeast corner of the property, so as not to impede the view of the beautiful building. Flowers have been added to the planters, and the renovation will begin in earnest very soon. |

Excitement is building as efforts begin to restore the historic jailhouse facility on Main Street in Rector as a community development office and visitor center. City employees Matt Vaughn and Jerry Mansfield erect a sign in front of the circa 1915 structure which housed the city jail and water office in the early days. The building was donated to the city by the Hamilton-Crockett-Jernigan families. Mayor Ron Kemp was notified this past week that the city has been approved for a grant of $25,000 from the Arkansas Dept. of Rural Services for use in renovating the building. The first phase of the work will begin immediately with ultimate plans for the building to become a real landmark for the city in terms of beauty and historical interest, as well as providing the headquarters for renewed efforts to secure new jobs and businesses. |
