This
photo of the Maverick
County Courthouse and Jail illustrates a common story in Texas. Often the
courthouse and jail
were built at the same time and often they were the first buildings on a desolate
landscape. Similar photos exist for El
Paso and Marfa - where the buildings
appear to be on the surface of the moon.
The early jail with crenelation
was replaced by the 1949 jail of utilitarian design. |
