State Capitol

The Texas State Capitol is one constant in this booming, ever-changing city. History is scattered in those expansive lawns, hiding tributes to our past as Texans. And swirling around the rotunda, with sometimes creepy smiles, the former governors stare down the Legislature, tourists, protestors, and an infinite number of sixth-grade classes, all sheltered by this 125-year-old hat tip to the scale of all things in Texas.
