The Texas State Capitol. It stands 302.64 feet from the south front ground level to the tip of the star atop the Goddess of Liberty, while the U.S. Capitol measures 288 feet from the east front ground level to the top of the Statue of Freedom, making the Lone Star State’s capitol about 14.64 feet taller than the nation’s.
