Return to Castle Hill

I wrote before about my discovery of Austin's former home of the Texas Military Institute in the Castle Hill neighborhood. Recently we made it back to 11th street, and looked a little closer.



I was hoping we could get up to the top of the tower. It had been said that it was quite accessible during the vacant times. These days are not those times. In any case, we enjoyed the view for a few minutes and pictures, and headed back to our off day errands.

The Austin skyline looks pretty cool from up here:



As does the capitol, with it's pink dome:



Also, to the north, UT's administration tower, the sight of Charles Whitman's sniper massacre in 1966.
