ROBERTSON COUNTY JAIL
Franklin, Texas

Photographer's Note:
"The 1882 Robertson County jail is behind the county courthouse in Franklin, TX. The jail was built the same year as the current courthouse and designed by the same architect, F.E. Ruffini. A front porch addition and susequent side and rear additions have greatly obscured the original structure. The jail served the county until 1988." - Terry Jeanson
