Vanderhoof's first jail was run by the Provincial Police, before the Royal Canadian Mounted Police came to the area. The structure was built in 1914, housed only one small cell and the Officer actually lived in the remainder of the building!

Today the building has been restored and displays the original jail cell and office and the officers quarters currently house a gift shop featuring arts and crafts created by local artists.
