Man I love what you guys are doing. We have nearly the identical situation in Graham, TX except we are in a fight to keep the "old old" jail from being torn down. It was built in 1921 and is in much better shape than yours. It was a jail until 1977 then a women's shelter until last year. I was the base of operations for the manhunt following the "1927 Santa Claus Bank Robbery" in Cisco, TX. I would love to hear more about your plans and how you are overcoming fund raising and code compliance issues. It looks like a wonderful plan and I wish you the best of luck.
