 EDITOR REVIEW: UNIVERSITY AREA. This 307-foot Spanish Renaissance landmark at the heart of campus has four clock faces (each measuring 12 feet in diameter) and chimes on the quarter-hour and hour. After some three decades and following renovations, the Tower's observation deck has been reopened to visitors who want to catch a terrific glimpse of Austin. Previously, the Tower had been closed to thwart attempted suicides and out of respect for those people who were killed by a Tower-ensconced sniper in 1966. Barriers and metal detectors are now installed. |
