Cold Spring CH, 1917.
Architect: Lane & Dowdy
We couldn't find the old jail. Lunched at Crystal's Bistro - slow service, but the food was worth it!
Livingston CH, 1924.
Architect: McLelland & Fink
Jail is attached.
Woodville CH, 1891.
Architect: T. S. Hodges
We were told this was the oldest non-remodeled CH still in use in Texas. A woman from the Juvenile Probation office showed us a painting of the original exterior. They hope to restore it back to its original appearance in the future. The 1930's remodel removed Victorian details, stuccoed and added on to the building.
Jasper CH, 1889.
Architect: Eugene T. Heiner
Older than Woodville, also stuccoed in the 1930's. Hm.
Newton CH, 1902.
Architect: Martin & Moodie
Nice town.
Kountze CH, 1958.
Architect: Dickson-Dickson & Associates
Ugh. This turned out to be the BEST way to see this ugly modernity. And the clock tower is a replica of the old courthouse's. Our first night visit. The Christmas lights improve it greatly - they should leave them up year-round!
