I only have one photo showing it under construction in the background and kind of blurred.
There was also a forum member who passed away last year - Robert Pence. He had family in Austin and visited here once in 1981 during the Memorial Day flood. He had been photographing cities since the late 60s. He took a bunch of photos of the skyline from his visit in 1981. Since his passing his website and photos no longer show up in his photo threads, unfortunately. I did save those photos back when he posted the thread.

Mike do you have any photos of the skyline in 1963? That is how old I am.
Nice avatar! I am keeping mine for awhile...even though someone else used it in the past and another new forum member has posted with it too.
