Copy of customer's print. Don Eastvold, Washington State Attorney General, requested this print of the Capitol Building. Copy of the print was made on October 28, 1955; date of original print is unknown. Other pictures in the series show Eastvold and his large family strolling by the Capitol Building. Better known now as the Legislative Building, it was the centerpiece of the capitol campus. Constructed on top of the existing Flagg foundations, the building had Doric-colonnaded wings to the north and south and central colonnaded and pedimented entrance porticoes between. The dome rising on top of it weighed 15,400 tons and was encircled by Corinthian colonnade. It took 500 workers five years to complete. (Dorpat: Building Washington, p. 339)
