Lakefair is 50 this year. It must've been during the 4th or 5th Lakefair I that I won a little ceramic dog as a result of hitting the required number of balloons with darts, or knocking over wooden pins with a ball. I still have that little dog, and by gosh, I'm going to keep him. Anyway, the exact spot where this prize-winning episode took place was where the Capitol Center Building now stands. Back then it was just a vacant lot. Sometimes you hear folks describe the Capitol Center Building as "ugly," or an "eyesore." Why, I even felt that way myself until I started researching the history of the place and began to realize what a great asset this structure is to the Olympia area. Both the governments of Thurston County and the State of Washington have had financial fiascos associated with the skyscraper, giving anti-government drum-beaters several years worth of material to complain about. The building has become sort of an unofficial scapegoat in many ways. But I think the Capitol Center Building should not be torn down, or, as a recent developer has proposed, be remodeled. Keep it just as it is. It is a classic example of the Cesso sullo Paesaggio school of architecture so prevalant around here in the 1960s-1970s. When one looks into the public architecture of Olympia, all you hear is Wohleb, Wohleb, Wohleb. Yawn. Enough. It is time to look at the public architecture of Olympia from the Cold War era. To do that, you need to know about G. Stacey Bennett (1916-1998).
