See how dramatically the Austin skyline has transformed in 100 years

The iconic Austin skyline has undergone some pretty dramatic changes. In the past 100 years, the face of our city has been transformed by rapid growth.

To help visualize a century's worth of new buildings, the folks at RentCafé created these nifty time-lapse sliders. Below, you can explore Austin's skyline through photos courtesy Google Images, the Austin History Center, the Library of Congress, and the Austin American-Statesman.

Our journey starts at the Congress Avenue bridge. Facing south in 1900 you would have seen the Texas State Capitol and a few low-rise buildings in the distance. The view is quite different now.
