Supreme Court

The Supreme Court and State Law Library are both housed in the Temple of Justice, which is the oldest building on the grounds of the capitol. The Temple was built between 1910 and 1925, though the Court had occupied and begun to use the building by 1919. Source: Charles H. Sheldon, A Century of Judging (UW Press, 1988), 149.
