Jail House Tour and Reception

An Open House and Reception will be held at the old Tioga County Sheriff's Office and Jail at the corner of Court and Main Streets in the Village of Owego on Thursday, May 4, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Bruce Nelson, owner and developer, invites the business community to tour the facility and see the newly completed apartments located in the jail section of the former sheriff's office.

Nelson bought the old Tioga County Sheriff's office in 1997. In the first phase of the building's development, he converted the sheriff's quarters into three luxury apartments and office spaces. Nelson's new project has transformed the former jail space into a luxury bachelor apartment and a two-bedroom apartment. Long-term plans include a restaurant on the first floor of the facility.

The Open House and Reception is sponsored by the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce.
