Thurston County Courthouse (1930-1978) - Olympia, Washington - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

Built by noted local architect Joseph Wohleb, the old Thurston County Courthouse was completed in 1930 at a cost of $350,000. Architecturally, the building is considered "Modernistic," at least externally, as Modernistic features are lacking in the interior. Tenino sandstone, from the south end of Thurston County, was a primary building material used in construction.

The building held court proceedings for nearly 50 years until it was replaced by a new courthouse in 1978. Today it houses the Washington State Attorney General's Office.
