NRHP Nomination Form

The 1984 Jail was built in the Classical architectural style of the courthouse.

In 1906 new cells furnished by the Southern Structural Steel Company were installed, and various repairs were made.

Since this jail evidently proved inadequate, a second jail was built near the courthouse and the earlier jail. In 1918 the Southern Structural Steel Company of San Antonio was contracted to build a new jail."

It is unknown what purposes the building has been used for since 1918, but it is still intact and appears to be setting vacant.
