Home for Sale, 102 W 3rd St, Georgetown, Texas 78626

Located on 1.3 acres just blocks from the historic courthouse on the Georgetown Square, the Williamson County historic jail was built in 1888. The two story French Bastille structure is made of native limestone with walls eighteen inches thick. Encompassing an entire City block on Austin Avenue, this property is also conveniently just two blocks away from the beautiful San Gabriel River. The ornamentation is restricted to quoins, stilted arched lintels and a crenellated parapet giving it the appearance of a castle. The jail was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1965. The building was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Significant development potential abounds for the remainder of the site.
