The Austonian held the crown of tallest building in Austin for nine years until The Independent surpassed it by only seven feet in 2019. Located at 200 Congress Ave., the 683-foot tall, 56-story building is a modern architectural icon in this rapidly growing city.
This post modern skyscraper was designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects of Houston. At the time of its completion in 2010, the Austrian was both the tallest building in Austin, and the tallest residential skyscraper in the United States west of the Mississippi River. Both distinctions are now held by The Independent, although another downtown Austin tower, Sixth and Guadalupe and still under construction, has already topped out at its final height of 865-feet and is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2023.
Austin is the capital of the State of Texas, as well as the seat of Travis County. With a population of just under one million residents, Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, is one of the fastest growing large metropolitan areas in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

Philadelphia
I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
Congress Hall, located in Philadelphia at the intersection of Chestnut and 6th Streets, served as the seat of the United States Congress from December 6, 1790 to May 14, 1800.[2][3] During Congress Hall's duration as the capitol of the United States, the country admitted three new states, Vermont, Kentucky, and Tennessee; ratified the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution; and oversaw the Presidential inaugurations of both George Washington (his second) and John Adams.
Sunday morning walk around Austin, TX. I focussed on the street art of the moment and architecture of the downtown area.
People don't want Congress dictating what light fixtures they can use.

OK, so I have a thing for this Ikea light fixture! I laid on the floor to get this shot. Then I remembered that getting back up ain't as easy as it used to be....
Pan Am Railways RUPO 345 splits the signals at the west limit of CPF 195 as it crosses Congress Street in Portland, Maine. The building to the right of the train was once the site of Portland’s Union Station until 1961 when it was torn down to build the Union Station Plaza strip mall. The other side of the tracks has been home to the Cumberland County Jail since 1994.

Detroit City-County Building (Coleman A. Young Municipal Center): This skyscraper, home to municipal and county offices, is located very close by.
Federal Buildings: The area also houses several federal and courthouse buildings.
Connections: The street is essential for connecting the business district with the modern Renaissance Center (to the southeast) and the Campus Martius area (to the west), serving as an alternative transport axis to the main thoroughfares.
