Description

Black and white photo of the Washington State Capitol Building in 1877. In the foreground are shrubs beside a picket fence. The Capitol Building is a two story wooden structure with a cupola on top. There is a porch at the front and a railing at the top suggesting a deck. There are double doors and two windows on the front at the ground level and three windows on the second floor. There are four windows on each floor at the side. On the roof are two chimneys. A flag pole is on the gable above the second story. A small building is behind the Capitol Building and trees are in the background. There is a white border on all sides. On the back is a stamp that says "State Capitol Museum 211 West 21st Street Olympia, Wash. 98501". A second identical stamp is placed under a statement in blue ink that says "return to". In pencil is "Capitol Olympia 1877".
