The History of the State Capitol Building with Dr. Susan Mayer

One of the most visible landmarks of the South Sound area is the great dome of the Legislative Building in Olympia. Thousands of people visit it each year. On January 18 at noon, Susan Mayer, Ph.D., presents a visual tour of the building, tracing its history and discussing its architecture and decoration at the Schmidt House History Talk, brought to the community by Olympia Tumwater Foundation’s Heritage Builders program.

Dr. Mayer is an independent art historian who gives public presentations, leads many tours as a volunteer, and teaches at the college level. Mayer received her Ph.D. from New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts.
