Guide's New Book Tells History of Capitol Building
M. Walter Andrus, longtime capitol guard and tour director, has published Behind This Cornerstone a stone by stone history of the Texas State Capitol. The volume weaves state history, government, and Capitol lore with vintage photos, including the cornerstone ceremony in 1885 and convict labor scenes. Andrus guides thousands of students daily, averaging about 932 steps per tour, and his work earned legislative commendation in 1953.
