Huntsville

The 1891 Sanborn map (Sheet 2) depicts a wood calaboose in Huntsville, Texas at 311-312 Main (block 1).  The first story was the calaboose and the second story served as the Mayor’s office.  It was still there in 1896 (Sheet 2), 1901 (Sheet 1), and 1906 (Sheet 1).  No jails or calabooses were seen on any of the 1916 maps.
