Austin then and now
"Austin Then and Now takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to a time when cotton and cattle drove the local economy. Using vintage photos paired with the modern viewpoint, the book shows how the city has developed and changed over the years with preservationists able to save some of the historically important buildings and city planners keeping high-rises away from the inspiring view of Elijah Myers' majestic State Capitol."--Page 4 of cover.
