Westgate Tower is a mid-century condominium located in downtown Austin. Completed in 1966, and named for its unique proximity to the Texas State Capitol, the building tends to attract those with business at the Texas Legislature. It is often compared with Cambridge Tower and Penthouse Apartments, also built in the 1960’s.
