Grapevine Calaboose

Overview

The Grapevine Calaboose, which derived its name from “calabozo,” the Spanish word for dungeon, was built as the town’s first jail in 1914. The Grapevine City Council authorized its construction in 1909. It was originally located elsewhere in town (on Barton Street) and moved to Heritage Park in 1976, and to its current location in 1994. The jail apparently housed associates of the Barrow Gang. It remained in use until the early 1950s.
