The Tracy City Hall and Jail, also known as Old Tracy Jail, is a commercial structure in Tracy, California. Built in 1899, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
When the city hall and jail was built, Tracy had not yet incorporated as a city and had no organized government of its own, being managed by San Joaquin County officials.[2] San Joaquin County commissioned the building after the previous jail burned down.
The city hall and jail is a one-story brick building and is approximately NaNfeet. The architects' design of the façade of the building was based on San Francesco di Rimini, a fifteenth century church in northern Italy.
In later years, the building housed a local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.[3] It is now in use as the office for The Grand Foundation.[4]
