Texas State Capitol
One of the most imposing state capitol buildings in the United States, closely resembling the U.S. Capitol but 14 feet taller. Unfortunately, Texas' government is even more mediocre than the government in Washington DC. The state of Texas sold more than two million acres of land to pay for the capitol, which was completed in 1888. The pink color is from the native granite mined in the nearby Hill Country.
