1910. 117 N. High St.
The picturesque, three-story Romanesque Revival former jail is built of red brick with contrasting buff brick used for corbeled stringcourses and cornices and for window and door arches. The fortress-like imagery is strengthened by two square corner towers on the front, each topped with crenellations. Chimneys at the rear also have crenellated tops. The first floor contained the jailer’s residence. The jail served until 1974 and was built by the Southern Structural Steel Company of San Antonio, a principal competitor to the Pauly Jail Building Company. Behind the jail is the Curtis Field Control Tower, a wooden structure relocated from Curtis Field.
