The Old Capitol Building in Olympia, WA, originally served as the Thurston County Courthouse and functioned as the state's Capitol Building from 1905 to 1927. Today, it houses the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and remains a historic symbol of Washington's legislative development.

Designed by architect Willis A. Ritchie, the building features a prominent clock tower and reflects the architectural style of its time. Despite suffering significant damage from a fire in 1928, the Old Capitol Building continues to be an essential part of Washington's governmental heritage.
