The Old Capitol Building in Olympia, Washington, is a historic structure that once served as the state's capitol. Constructed between 1890 and 1892, the building exhibits Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style, characterized by its robust and grandiose appearance, including rounded arches, heavy stone masonry, and intricate carvings. Originally built to house Thurston County offices, it became the temporary state capitol after the original statehouse burned down in 1928. Today, it is home to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
