The 1949 Maverick
County jail
Photo coutesy Terry

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. |
