Temple of Justice, Classical neoclassical government building in Olympia, United States.

The Temple of Justice is a government building on the Washington State Capitol Campus with a rectangular floor plan, extended wings, and sandstone exterior quarried from local sources. The structure features neoclassical design elements and contains courtrooms and legal library spaces.

Construction began in 1912 under architects Walter Wilder and Harry White and was completed in 1920. The project represented an expansion of the Capitol grounds during the early twentieth century.

The building serves as a visible symbol of the state's judicial authority and the sandstone walls contribute to the formal character of the Capitol grounds. Locals and visitors recognize it as a place where important legal decisions are made.

Access is available Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, with a south entrance facing the Legislative Building and an east ADA-accessible entry. Visitors should come during business hours when the building is fully open to the public.

The Temple of Justice was used before it was finished: Governor Ernest Lister's inaugural ball took place there in January 1913, and the Supreme Court began meeting regularly in the unfinished building that same year. The building was completed only in 1920.
