Description
The Capitol Visitors Center, or the old Land Office Building in Austin, Texas, at sunset - digital painting made from a photo where I made some small edits and I added oil painting texture. Built-in 1857 and designed by architect Christoph Conrad Stremme, the General Land Office Building is a prominent Austin landmark known for its distinctive architectural style. With rounded arches and Norman-style parapets, it features a façade made of meticulously stuccoed limestone rubble. Formerly housing O. Henry's office, it underwent various transformations, hosting museums and later serving as the Capitol Visitors Center. Designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it stands as a testament to Texas's enduring history.
