Dewitt C. Greer State Highway Building

Dewitt C. Greer State Highway Building, Art Deco government building in downtown Austin, United States.

The DeWitt C. Greer State Highway Building is an eight-story limestone structure at the southwest corner of 11th and Brazos Streets in downtown Austin. San Antonio architect Carleton Adams designed it in Art Deco styling, with carved limestone panels above the front doors. It was finished in 1933 at a cost of $455,000 and has housed Texas Department of Transportation offices since.

The Texas Highway Department built this structure in 1933 during the Great Depression when the state was investing in infrastructure expansion. Construction occurred during a period of major transportation system development across Texas that shaped modern road networks.

The building was renamed in 1981 for Dewitt Carlock Greer, who served as state highway engineer from 1940 to 1967 and as commissioner from 1969 to 1981. The Texas Historical Commission marker at the site, erected in 1997, records this and the agency's early history.

The building occupies the southwest corner of 11th and Brazos Streets, at 125 E. 11th Street, a few blocks north of the Texas Capitol. Its carved limestone panels above the front doors face the street and can be seen from the sidewalk.

This structure incorporates stylized eagle decorations similar to those on the Empire State Building and uses pink granite matching the Texas Capitol. These details visually link it to other important buildings from that same period.
