1965 conceptual design for the Jester Center. This design wasn't built, but it is pretty close to the design of the taller building.

The University of Texas Main Building under construction in 1933.

The base was built first, probably finished around 1934 or so. The tower portion didn't start until 1935 and wrapped up in 1937.
