Iconic Texas Landmarks
Some of the most recognizable monuments in Texas owe their enduring beauty to local limestone.

The iconic Main Building and much of the historic UT campus are famously clad in "Texas Cordova Cream" limestone.
The San Jacinto Monument
Standing 567 feet tall, this massive obelisk is faced entirely in Texas Cordova Shell limestone.
Historic County Courthouses
During the late 19th century, countless Texas courthouses were constructed using massive, rusticated limestone blocks.
