Built in 1884 by P.J. Pauly & Bro., the Old Frio County Jail in Pearsall, Texas, stands as a two-story Victorian structure distinguished by elaborately moulded brickwork and thick plastered brick walls. An excellent and well-preserved example of public Victorian architecture in rural Texas, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and designated a Texas State Antiquities Landmark and Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. Today it operates as the Frio Pioneer Jail Museum.
