@TXCapHistory I know the Chili Parlor didn’t open till ‘76, but the building was there, no?

View north of downtown Austin from the top of the Methodist Church looking at Lavaca, 1968. There is no Trial Lawyer building or garage, Colorado Street is open, no Price Daniel Building, State Bar, or Chili Parlor. LOTS of surface parking. #txlege

Early stages of Capitol construction. The architect was Elijah Myers and engineered by Reuben Walker. Texas sold 3,000,000 acres in Deaf Smith County to finance the entire cost. The land later became the XIT Ranch. #txlege

@vincentjonestx Yes. Although the old photo is from the south end, this is from the north.

Happy Texas Independence Day! 190 years ago today, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed at Washington-on-the-Brazos by delegates from all 59 of Texas' early settlements.
