The Oakville
Jail Building
Julia Dunks
recently did a Master's thesis on this jail building in Oakville.
She is an architectural graduate student at UT-San Antonio. (It
is not the courthouse, which was torn down about 1941.) She said:
The Oakville jail was built in 1887 of native sandstone, building
served as the Live Oak County jail until 1919 when the county seat
was moved to George
West.
In 1937 the late Slim Rosebrock paid the county $1000 for the courthouse
and jail. Because of the poor condition of the courthouse, it was
demolished. - Mary R. Johnson, Museum Director of Live Oak County,
