My Calaboose (11-02-15)

Shortly after the first year into this project I decided I would like a replica calaboose in my yard.  At one time, I thought I was going to get a real one that was being neglected but that does not seem likely.  Therefore, I have proceeded with the construction of my very own Texas calaboose.  It will be 8 x 10 feet in area and 8 feet tall.  There will be one door and perhaps the room will be divided into a cell and office for the Constable.  The size and number of windows has yet to be determined.  However, a friend of mine fished these very old bars out of the river and gave them to me.  I can’t prove they were part of a calaboose but what else they could be baffles me.  They are planned for one of the windows.
