San Saba County Jail, the county's oldest existing public building, was erected in 1884. The structure cost $13,000 and the lot $500. Built of blue limestone in Italianate Texas style, the jail originally had a 12-foot-high board fence added after an 1886 jailbreak, though that fence has since been replaced. The jailer lives on the first floor.
