An aerial view looks down on the Washington State Capitol group in Olympia. The domed Legislative Building, completed in 1928, stands at the center, with office buildings and landscaped grounds around it and the city's business and residential district spreading behind.
The printed caption reads "State Capitol Buildings - Olympia Wash." and notes the "Business and Residential District in the background." Olympia has been Washington's capital since territorial days, and the capitol campus sits on a rise above the downtown grid.
