The Texas State Capitol is the capitol and seat of government of the U.S. state of Texas, located in downtown Austin, where it houses the offices and chambers of the Texas Legislature and the Governor of Texas. It was designed in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers and constructed from 1882 to 1888 under civil engineer Reuben Lindsay Walker, with a 75 million dollar underground extension completed in 1993. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
