A view from back in 2010 looking south with the 1933 Austin History Center building in the foreground and the 1979 John Henry Faulk Central Library just behind it — while the newer building used similarly-colored materials in order to compliment the older building, they couldn’t look more different in all the other ways that count.

You can find more details on the tour at the organization’s site as the event draws near, but until then, you might enjoy this vintage footage of the 1996 dedication ceremony for the library’s renaming in memory of John Henry Faulk, featuring live music and hosted by legendary Austin humorist Cactus Pryor:
