The Llano County Jail was erected in 1895 by the Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Co. of St. Louis, Mo. Its exterior was built of gray granite quarried in the county, and the red roof of the Romanesque revival jail gave it the nickname "Red-Top," a name prisoners often used when speaking of staying there. The first floor served as the jailer's office and living quarters, the second floor contained four cells and two drunk tanks, and the third and fourth floors housed the gallows.
