County JailSabine
County Commissioners contracted for this two-story Victorian jail building in
1903. It was completed the following year during the county judgeship of James
T. Peace. Bricks for the exterior were supplied from the local kiln of Henry Huffman.
The original interior space, which included an area for hangings, was remodeled
in 1925 by the Southern Steel Company of San
Antonio. W. H. Davidson was county judge at the time.
