UT Tower
Standing 27 stories high, the University of Texas Tower (the main administrative building) is a fixture in the Austin skyline. It has been used by the school since 1882 and features stunning Victorian-Gothic architecture. Standing very close to the height of the Capitol, the observation deck provides a beautiful view of the city. A testament to school spirit, the tower shines in burnt orange, and the bells peal to hail the University sports teams' victories. This stunning architectural beauty is a must-see when visiting the campus. History and crime buffs should also take this tour, as it is the site of the notorious actions perpetrated by Charles Whitman on August 1, 1966.
The Greetings from Austin Mural is set in South 1st Street in the city of Austin. This postcard-style wall mural was made by Todd Sanders, a well-known artist. This vintage-style artwork takes you back in time. In addition to graffiti art, Sanders is also known to create neon art like Sailor Beware, Red Luchador, Car and Travel Trailer, Austin Neon Backyard and many others. Greetings from Austin Mural is a popular place to visit for photographers who want to use this wall mural as their background.
