Darryl Pearson visited this interesting structure.  It certainly has many of the attributes of a calaboose.  There is a confirmed calaboose in Granger that was present in 1910.  Could this one pre-date it?

Randy Reynolds of San Antonio sent me these pictures of the jail in Post (Garza County).  This is the only example of metal cells made by the Southern Structural Steel Company of San Antonio.

 

Last year, a reader of my website sent me a picture of a calaboose in Post, Texas (Garza County) near Lubbock.  Today, Lindi Lawson stopped there on her way to Lubbock and took some photos for me.  As soon as I have a page for Garza County I will post what I know about it.  This is the only one so far that has a front facade like this.  Eager to see the inside.

 

Earlier, I believed that the calabooses on the Sanborn maps for Flatonia (Fayette County) were not the same as the one that is located today in the city park.  Recent evidence appears to have proven me wrong.  Therefore, the calabooses in Flationia that appeared under my “Vanished” menu have been deleted.

This is the most current map showing the distribution of calabooses in Texas.  I haven’t counted they yet but will soon.
