That pic of how downtown has grown hasn’t changed in 50 years.

Louisiana is the only southeastern state that's losing population.

The Texas State Capitol stands 302.64 feet (92.24 meters) tall from the south front ground level to the tip of the star held by the Goddess of Liberty.

Comparison: It is about 14.64 feet taller than the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., which measures 288 feet.

Design: According to the Texas State Preservation Board, this extra height was an intentional design choice.


Classic Texas little dick syndrome.

Agreed and they are a day late and ~45 meters short of BTR capitol building.

TEXAS translates to trailer park, in Mexican.

Nope, guess again.

The Louisiana State Capitol is the tallest state capitol building in the United States, standing at 450 feet with 34 floors.

It is followed by the Nebraska State Capitol at 400 feet and the Illinois State Capitol at 361 feet

Others
Kansas State Capitol: 326 feet
Florida State Capitol: 322 feet
Texas State Capitol: 311 feet (notable for being the largest by square footage and 14 feet taller than the U.S. Capitol)
West Virginia State Capitol: 292 feet
Washington State Capitol: 287 feet (features the tallest freestanding masonry dome in North America)
Utah State Capitol: 286 feet
Wisconsin State Capitol: 284 feet

Tallest state capitol building in the United States,


They had to go that high to get above the ambient smell of BR and whiffs of NO.

Baton Rouge has one of the ugliest capital city downtown ‘skylines’ I’ve ever seen. It could be great, too. Damned shame.

You googled wrong.

You Googled biggest (by square footage), not tallest.

Bragging about girth rather than length is just a sad second place.

The one on Highland closed. The one downtown is hanging by a thread. I’ve heard whoever runs the building (LSU I think) wants them out.
