A by-law was passed by the Township of Hungerford granting said land to the Corporation of the Village of Tweed for-ever. Signed: Robert Caskey, Reeve of Hungerford; William White, Reeve of Tweed.

The building was completed in 1900. The deed to the property is registered in the Registry Office, County of Hastings, Belleville. There is a photocopy on display in the jailhouse.
