From its humble roots as a plank-board building off Eighth and Congress, our Capitol has grown to dwarf all others, second in size and stature only to its compadre in D.C. And it has only grown larger with its Capitol Extension, an underground maze of offices, replete with cafeteria and gift shop for the kids. The grounds are also remarkable, giant sprawling fields of green from which monuments spring up. It's true: Everything is bigger in Texas.
