Kendall County Courthouse and Jail
Kendall County Courthouse and Jail, Gothic Revival courthouse in Boerne, Texas.
Kendall County Courthouse and Jail is a two-story judicial complex in Boerne built in Romanesque and Gothic Revival styles across about 3 acres. The main courthouse and a separate limestone jail from the late 1800s sit on the same grounds as distinct structures made from regionally sourced stone.
Courthouse construction began in 1870 on land donated by surveyor John James, with a second story added in 1886 through modifications. The separate limestone jail was built in 1887 by the Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company.
The courthouse displays local craftsmanship from the late 1800s through its facade of regional limestone quarried nearby. Visitors can observe the careful stonework and the building's connection to the area's construction trade while walking around the grounds.
The complex sits at the corner of San Antonio and Watts Streets, east of Main Street, making it easy to locate. As a National Register of Historic Places site, it welcomes visitors to explore the exterior grounds and building facades.
The building was expanded with a second story in 1886 by local architect Charles Buckel, reflecting its role as a growing judicial center. This renovation shows how the region's expanding needs shaped the physical development of the complex.
