The exhibited images highlight Austin's Congress Avenue, with full color streetscapes captured in the 1950s and 60s alongside scenes of Congress and its environs as they stand today. The exhibit's historical images are available from the Texas Architecture: A Visual History Website and the VRC's Online Image Collection. Contemporary images were composed by VRC staff members and developed and printed in the UTSOA Darkroom, a resource managed by the VRC and available to all currently enrolled UTSOA students.
