OUT OF TOWNES 1990 PEREGRIN US The construction of a separate law building was started on December 4, 1906 and completed in 1908. Its architecture reflected the growing interest in the Renaissance style. This drawing of the Law Building appeared in the Cactus of 1907. — Photograph courtesy of Austin History, Austin Public Library The interior plan of the building provides five classrooms, each 42 x 44 feet; an assembly room, 76 x 80 feet; a library and reading room, 76 x 120 feet; eight offices, toilet rooms, gathering room, and heat controlling and janitors room. The general arrangement of all these rooms was made with a view to obtaining the best possible ventilation and air circulation. It is not too much to say that a more serviceable and delightful room than the library and reading room is not to be found in the state. — University of Texas Record, 1908.
