Dewitt C. Greer State Highway Building, Art Deco government building in downtown Austin, United States.
The nine-story stone structure features fluted columns, geometric floral patterns, and continuous vertical piers adorned with carved limestone panels above the doors.
The Texas Highway Department constructed this building in 1933 during the Great Depression, marking a period of infrastructure development in the state.
The entrance displays a relief sculpture depicting Texas transportation evolution from Native American times through the early automobile era.
Located at the intersection of East 11th Street and Brazos Street, the building manages operations for 79,000 miles of state-owned roads.
The building incorporates stylized eagle decorations similar to those found on the Empire State Building and uses pink granite matching the Texas Capitol.
