Shackelford County Courthouse Historic District
Shackelford County Courthouse Historic District, Victorian architectural district in Albany, Texas.
The Shackelford County Courthouse Historic District spans several blocks, featuring limestone buildings with decorative elements from the 1880s construction period.
The district emerged after Albany became a Texas Central Railroad terminus in 1881, transforming from wooden structures to stone buildings around the courthouse square.
The Old Jail Art Center, formerly the county jail built in 1877, now functions as a cultural institution displaying art collections within the district.
The district extends between South 1st, South 4th, South Jacobs, and South Pecan Streets, with the courthouse serving as the central administrative building.
Scottish stonemasons contributed their expertise to construct the courthouse using local limestone, transported by horse-drawn wagons during the 1880s.
