The State of Texas |

Each of the States has two statues in the U. S. Capitol Building except, New Mexico and Nevada. They only have one each. I don't guess they have figured out anybody else important enough to carve. Texas submitted two statues by the sculptor Elisabet Ney. They were marble likenesses of Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston. The Stephen F. Austin statue is located in the small House rotunda, just off the main rotunda and the Sam Houston statue is located in the National Statuary Hall next to the rotunda. |
| Elisabet Ney was commissioned to model Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin for the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. In 1905 marble sculptors based on these models were donated to the U. S. Capitol Building collection. |
