When the city hall and jail was built, Tracy had not yet incorporated as a city and had no organized government of its own, being managed by San Joaquin County officials.[3] San Joaquin County commissioned the building after the previous jail burned down.[2]
The city hall and jail is a one-story brick building and is approximately 24 by 43 feet (7.3 m × 13.1 m). The architects' design of the façade of the building was based on San Francesco di Rimini, a fifteenth century church in northern Italy.[3]
In later years, the building housed a local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.[4] It is now in use as the office for The Grand Foundation.[5]
