Deridders Gothic-looking hanging Jail is one of the most distinctive of its type in the US. Its collegiate Gothic architectural style features shallow arches dormer windows and a central tower. The iron bars in most of the windows give the structure an eerie appearance. Inside there is a spiral staircase that leads up to three floors of jail cells each with a toilet shower lavatory and window. When the jail was in use prisoners could be seen waving from the barred windows. This unique jail was used until 1982 when a court action forced it to close. In 1981 it was put on the National Register of Historic Places along with several other buildings in Deridder.
