About Tule Lake Segregation Center Historic Jail Restoration
The restoration project included repair of the building’s exterior and interior and the conservation of significant graffiti on the interior walls that was created by the inmates.
Exterior work included concrete wall and roof repairs, new roofing, window frame repair and new window sash and screens, door frame repair, restoration of the rear metal door and a new wood front door. Interior work included graffiti conservation, repair of concrete walls/openings, restoration of metal doors, metal door frames and cell bars, partition repair, and new wood doors with either repaired or new frames. Electrical and lighting systems were recreated, and a new radiant heating system was designed to have the least impact on the historic interiors.
The east cell block was more fully recreated with historic and matching army salvage bunks and antique period toilets and sinks. Both cellblock showers were also restored with piping and period correct fittings.
