Texas' 'Lone Star' State building was a huge five-pointed star-shaped edifice, surmounted by a dome of 132 feet from the ground, located just off the [[Plateau of States]], on [[The Trail]].

	==~~Etymology~~==		==Description==
			striking in the originality and boldness of architectural conception, is the five-pointed star building of Texas. Pinning the points together is a great dome, 132' from the ground. Crowning the dome, around which is an inviting promenade, is a large statue of the Goddess of Liberty holding aloft a five pointed star.

	~~==Before~~ the ~~Fair==~~		At the end of the five points are two columns, indicative of industries and supporting statues of Texas heroes. There are, of course, ten walls. At the base, where every pair of walls meet, is an entrance.

	~~==Description==~~		Inside, at the center beneath the dome, is a hexagon-shaped assembly room where a miniature of the famous Alamo fountain at San Antonio is located, surrounded by a basin containing specimens of all the water plants peculiar to the Lone Star state.

			Branching from this main rotunda are 5 wedge shaped areas. Each of the star points contains two stories, the upper ones being used for private apartments. All the rooms on the second floor are finished in native woods and marbles of Texas.

			One of the handsomest small decorated rooms is the parlor with its delicate light green colorings, its hand-painted draperies and curtains of shimmering silk.

In one point is the art and sculpture room, with a great statue of the Rev. Dr. Rufus Burleson, founder of a large Texas university, and of King Ludwig III of Bavaria, by Elizabeth Ney.

	The ~~building measured 234 feet~~ from ~~extreme points of star~~ and ~~144 feet to top of dome. It cost an additional sum~~ of 12,~~000 dollars for furnishings~~.		The next point is the historical room with portraits of men and women famed in the Texas revolution, century-old bells from the Spanish missions, arms and swords of the revolution period, rough-hewn crosses and holy pictures taken from ancient monasteries.

	~~Demonstrations within~~ the ~~façade were the conception and work of the Texas Federation of Women Clubs~~.		The other point contained the offices, furnished in curly pine.
