Ingraham to build this structure to serve as Robertson County's' first jail, courtroom, and residence for the Sheriff. The structure opened on June 1, 1876. “Ingraham Castle” as the jail was called, served the needs of the county until 1880.
Later serving as the Park Hotel, Dr R.A. Browns office , and home for Fannie Lee Hammond and her family. Ingraham Castle remains a landmark for all of Calvert.
In 1983 Texas A&M was commissioned through the HABS program (Historic American Building Survey) by the Federal Government to research and draw 11 elevations of Ingraham Castle. These original drawings are now held in the U.S. Library of Congress. You will be shown the first copies by the Innkeepers.
