Old Essex County Jail

#UCPLholding The Hotel Joffre was built during WWI because the town of Monroe believed that the world's largest radio tower would be built by the military in the Bakers area. The war ended & there was no need for the tower but the hotel was nearly finished. More in the files at the UCPL, "UCVF: Hotel Joffre & other hotels". -pmp, UCPL #tbt #HistoryAtTheUCPL #MonroeNCHistory
