Marker TextBastrop
County JailDesigned
by Eugene T.
Heiner of Houston, this building
was erected in 1891-92 by contractors Martin, Byrne & Johnston. Red brick trim
decorates the tan brick walls. A pressed metal cornice encircles the structure,
and a mansard roof tops one end. Jailer's quarters were located on the first floor
and cell blocks on the second and third, which appear to be one floor on the exterior.
This edifice served as the Bastrop County Jail until 1974.
