À quoi s'attendre
1
The Driskill
This is the one we go inside! This architectural beauty has a wild history. Learn about what inspired it's architecture through the ages.
2
Bremond Block
At the Bremond block we'll take a stroll around a well-preserved block of Victorian homes and learn about their architectural evolution.
3
Texas Governor's Mansion
This mansion may seem out of place amongst commercial and government buildings, but 100 years ago those blocks were covered in houses, some even larger than the Governor's Mansion.
4
Texas State Capitol
There's too much to say about the largest State Capital building in the country. It's architecture tells dozens of wild tales. We'll let you in on a few of them from outside on the south lawn.
5
St. Mary's Cathedral
From outside, learn about the history of the Cathedral and it's unique construction.
6
Capitol Complex Visitors Center
It certainly doesn't fit in with it's neighbors. From outside, discuss the oldest and possibly strangest state building still standing in Austin.

Tour was wonderful, very enjoyable! Wish we would have done it earlier in our stay since our guide also offered suggestions of local places to visit. Highly recommend!

Fast-growing Austin’s history is receding quickly, the desire to preserve balanced against the equally strong drive to reinvent. Emily (our guide on the Cornerstones tour) is passionate without being strident, informative but not lecturing, warm, personable, and tireless. We saw residential, governmental, and commercial buildings and Emily explained their styles and significance while sharing a nice perambulation around the center of Texas’s capital city.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant, telling us about the history and architecture of central Austin. One part we especially enjoyed was the Bremen block, with gorgeous homes built after the Civil War. (I’m not sure if I spelled the man’s name correctly.)
