Texas : Architecture : Jails :

LEON COUNTY JAILS
Centerville, Texas

Three jails now stand on the courthouse square. Two are vintage. The one built in 1887 originally matched the former courthouse. The second was built in 1913. The other two (1974 and 1994) are less interesting from an architectural viewpoint.
