Hillsboro Jail

The view isn't not much and it is that high up you couldn't see out anyway but if you did manage to look out you looked directly out on the courthouse. Built in 1896 the jail housed many notorious criminals. including Oliver Lee accused in the infamous 1896 disappearance and murder near White Sands of Judge Albert J. Fountain and his eight-year-old son Henry. The Jail was immortalized in many Eugene Manlove Rhodes, the cowboy chronicler, stories. A window I don't think I'd ever want to look out!
