Bandera County was organized in 1856 and used makeshift quarters for jail and courthouse functions until 1877, when the county purchased a two-story stone building constructed in 1868 which is now known as the Old Courthouse. The building served as county courthouse until the present courthouse was built in 1891.[2][3] A former one-story cut stone jail adjacent to the Old Courthouse designed by San Antonio architect Alfred Giles was built in 1881.[4] On October 31, 1979, the two buildings, located on 12th St. between Maple St. and SH 16, were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a single entry.[5] The two buildings are also jointly listed as a State Antiquities Landmark.[6]
