Just realized there was not a thread on these state landmarks so now is as good a time as any.

New York Times article
Wiki Article
Aerial views of new reinstallation


The engineer who was on site of the above reinstall told me they went through sandblasting, repainting, and a couple other layers for 14mm of thickness added. They are also retrofitted with LEDs which should keep maintenance costs down (they are no longer allowed to climb up) as well as energy savings.

The seventeen remaining towers are:

Canterbury St. and Lynn St. (NE corner) (drone video above)
Leland St. and Eastside Dr (NE corner)
Monroe St. and S. 1st S (SW corner)
West 4th and Nuece (SW corner)
West 9th and Guadalupe St (SE corner)
W. 12th St. and Blanco St (SE corner)
W. 12th St. and Rio Grande St (NW corner)
W. 15th St. and San Antonio St (SW corner)
W. 22nd St. and Nueces St (SW corner)
W. 41st St. and Speedway St (SW corner)
Zilker Park (used for Zilker Park Christmas Tree)*
Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Chicon St (SE corner)
Pennsylvania Ave. and Leona St (NE corner)
E. 11th St. and Trinity St (SE corner)
E. 11th St. and Lydia St (SW corner)
E. Cesar Chavez and Trinity St. (SW corner)
