Red River
County Jail
This building was
completed in 1889 as the second jail for Red
River County. Architects Maj. S. B. Haggart and Marshall Sanguinet
designed the structure as a companion building to the County Courthouse,
which had been completed five years earlier. The elaborate high Victorian
Italianate styling of the Red River County Jail features finely crafted
stonework and intricate metal cornices.
