The Texas State Capitol vs. The Bullock State Museum
One can only stare in awe when looking our Texas State Capitol. This structure built in 1888, is a powerful symbol of Texas with its brilliant architecture and detail. Just a few blocks down and one century later, The Bullock State History museum (2001) shares many of the same qualities. The State Capitol and the Bullock State Museum share many basic similarities, but also have a number of architectural discrepancies concerning the structural layout and proportion, as well as general detail.
The Bullock State Museum is a large brown building located on corner of one of the busiest avenues in Austin. This museum made of Texas pink granite, has a large central dome with wings on either sides. ... The front landscape also has an oversized Texas star on the east front, behind the symbolic six flags of Texas.
The museum itself is a large rectangular structure with a slight curve at the south wing and a semi circle in the front facing east under the dome. ...
Just a few blocks South down Congress Avenue is the Texas State Capitol. ... There are also a number buildings throughout the property that relate well with the actual capitol because of the same basic color, material and style. ... Atop the wide and covered entranceway, are the six symbolic congressional seals, as well as the state flag.
