Second county jail. (First was a small 1879 structure on lawn of courthouse.) Erected in 1890, this building is a good example of Victorian jail architecture with some traces of Romanesque Revival. Belting at ground and second floors a notable detail.
     Lower floor contains living quarters for the jailer. Upper floor houses both maximum and minimum security cells.
     Only one person, a convicted murdered, was ever hanged here.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1970
