The Cell Block

A two cell jail from the 1930s converted to a one room boutique hotel in Clifton, TX. A little history? A perfect compilation of scrappy stories.

Jerry Hill (used to be a constable and told about putting Guess Who in and using it as a drunk tank; may have to use fake names; also told of old men using it to play dominoes in after the jail wasn't in use), Mary Orbeck (told about it having the only "public" telephone in town).
