McCULLOCH
COUNTY JAIL
Constructed in
1909-10, 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.
