Temple of Justice, Classical neoclassical government building in Olympia, United States.
The Temple of Justice stands on the Washington State Capitol Campus with a rectangular shape, extended wings, and sandstone construction from Wilkeson quarries.
Construction of the Temple of Justice began in 1912 under architects Walter Wilder and Harry White, reaching completion in 1920 at a cost of $942,230.
The Washington Supreme Court conducts proceedings in the main courtroom while the State Law Library maintains an extensive legal collection in the reading room.
