McCULLOCH
COUNTY JAIL
Constructed in
1909-1910, this was the second building to serve as the McCulloch
County Jail. This red brick Romanesque Revival style edifice was
built by the Southern Structural Steel Co. of San
Antonio. Sheriff T.L. Sansom was the first occupant of the first
floor jailer's quarters. The second and third floors contained prisoners'
cells.
When the county erected a new facility in 1974, the Heart of Texas
Historical Museum, Inc., acquired this structure.
