 photographs and text submitted by member Michael Houser


Constructed for a cost of just under $1 million, the Olympia City Hall is an exceptional example of period architecture. Upon completion, the building was highly touted nationwide as a model of good design, architectural innovation, and space planning. The building was one of the last structures designed by noted Olympia architect Robert Wohleb.
