Another reader of Texas Co-op Power magazine shared a calaboose with me.  It is a metal cage in northeast Travis County. The Dessau Dance Hall was a place questionable morals in the early part of the last century. In those days the Dance hall was located far far from town and alcohol, dancing, and women were a breeding ground for crime.  Some form of lock up was needed. Reportedly there is damage from a bullet fired on the inside of the Calaboose.

 

He also reports on a possible east of Luling in Caldwell County.  Apparently, Gander Slew was a rough place.  This story came from a 92 year old woman whose  father had prohibited her from visiting.
