The timeless beauty of Tudor Gothic-style architecture is reflected in the ivy-covered columns of Annie Wright Seminary. The school was designed by the architectural firm of Sutton, Whitney & Dugan and built in 1924 by J.E. Bonnell, contractor. In 1957 Annie Wright grew to include the construction of new classrooms and a music room. It was primarily a girls' school and attracted students from as far away as Hawaii. Photograph ordered by Annie Wright Seminary.

The Rt. Rev. Stephen Fielding Bayne, Jr., gazes at a portrait of himself that is hung in the Great Hall of Annie Wright Seminary. The painting shows the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia with staff in hand. Bishop Bayne became the president of the Board of Trustees at Annie Wright in 1948. The painting was done by Jeanie M. Walkinshaw of Seattle; it was presented to the school by the 1957 graduating class. Bishop Bayne is wearing a purple cassock and pectoral cross. The pastoral staff he holds is a gift from Ruth Jenkins, headmistress of Annie Wright, in honor of the bishop's 10th anniversary as bishop of the diocese. Photograph ordered by Annie Wright Seminary.
