The view from the UT Tower. The date listed with it says 1954, but I think it's a bit later than that because I can see the Sam Houston Building northeast of the Capitol, and it was built in 1959. It also looks like they were doing site prep for the Cambridge Tower at 18th & Lavaca, which was finished in 1965. I also see the Tom C. Clark Building and it was finished in 1960. And you can see the edge of the Penthouse Condominiums, which was finished in 1964. So, I think this is as late as 1964. Missing from the photo is the Westgate Tower, which was finished in 1967. The Holiday Inn Capitol Tower is also missing, and it was finished in 1967. It would have been in the upper left where you can see the I-35 S-curve.
