Happy Bench Monday!!!
HBM!!
I saw this old guy while driving around La Grange, Texas. It's the very first jail house build in the town. Now it's being used as the City of La Grange Visitor’s Bureau and office space for the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce. In the mid-1930’s, two members of the infamous Bonne and Clyde gang, Raymond Hamilton and Gene O’ Dare were held here for robbing the Carmine Bank.
Here's more info:
Fayette County opened its first jail in July, 1838. The cost of the first structure was $460. It was a primitive structure; prisoners were ironed and chained but within 10 years the building was sold. With no jail, prisoners were parceled out to various citizens for safekeeping. The plan worked until a murderer’s apprehension made arrangements for his incarceration in another town necessary.
In 1852, plans were finalized for a new jail that was in use by 1854. This jail was built by German immigrant Heinrich Kreishe, who was a stone mason by trade when he immigrated. You can see his work still at the Monument Hill/ Kreishe Brewery State Park.
By the early 1880’s, the need for a more modern and larger jail was evident and work began on the structure we now call the Old Jail. In November 1881, the county commissioners selected the Victorian Gothic design of Andrewarthe & Wahrenberger as the new look. The building was opened in 1883.

Here is an image of a male stonechat feeding young under the canopy of a small oak tree on a moorland hill. I have not watched these birds for a couple of days now. I will be up again soon, I think the female is sitting on eggs again. I now have project Black Redstart to occupy my time as well!

Hoffnung
Mein Weg ist zu Ende.
Ich sehe ein Tor,
durchflutet von hellem Schein.
Ich fasse mir Mut,
ich trete ein -
und weiß: jetzt geht es mir gut.
Durchschritten ist das dunkle Tal,
jetzt kann ich mein Leiden besiegen.
Vorbei sind nun die Zeiten der Qual -
und meine Seele darf fliegen!

When I drove past this barn I just had to stop and get a photo. The nice shade of red paint, faded flag and the birds sitting on the power lines just make the shot!
