Mason, TX, United States
Mason County Jail. A good example of a small, nineteenth-century jail, this structure was built in 1894 from the brown sandstone available in the nearby hills. The ground floor of the county's third jail includes living quarters for the sheriff, while the jail cells are located on the second floor.
The modified Romanesque Revival building features a massive entry arch, segmental arches over the windows, and a central tower. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1983 #11287
