Architect Paul Thiry proportioned the massing to reflect the form and scale of the Classically designed Capitol group, although the Pritchard Building differs in architectural sensibilities with a decidedly Modern identity. The location, monumentality and shared design elements with the Capitol group emphasized the essential role of the Washington State Library within the state government. Furthermore, in the building͛s orientation to the Legislative Building and its use of Wilkeson sandstone as an exterior cladding, the Pritchard Building assumes a sense of shared purpose and belonging in the Capitol group. The State Library Commission͛s (SLC) interest in Thiry was the functional efficiency of his plan and his interest in working on libraries and with their staffs. Thiry met frequently with the State Library͛s staff, to get their input on the floor plan and other design aspects. Throughout the process, Paul Thiry and Maryan Reynolds (State Librarian at that time) worked closely together (Reynolds often called Thiry three to four times a day with ideas and questions) in deciding on embellishments, interior arrangement and furnishing choices. Thiry described his conception of the design as taking what he and the State Library staff knew regarding their present and future requirements, and reconciling that Saturday, May 22, 2021 Page 7 of 17 Historic Property Report Resource Name: Washington State Library Property ID: 26054 knowledge with contemporary library design practices. For example, the first floor is largely open and visible from the first floor mezzanine, a configuration originally intended to enable maximum operational flexibility with a minimum of staff to monitor activities. Thiry chose Wilkeson sandstone instead of Indiana limestone, although it was then three times more expensive, in order to match the earlier Capitol buildings, as well as for the stone's durability, good quality, and because it was a Washington product. Numerous lesser details, specifically the building͛s base, the regular spacing of window bays, and the recessed panels below the windows, evoke the Classicism of adjacent Capitol buildings without directly using their detailing. Textures employed on the exterior walls are plain, comprised of the grainy texture of the Wilkeson sandstone contrasting with the glass surfaces of the broad windows. The windows provided functional transparency. At the time of construction, this represented a significant development in library design meant to encourage library use. The large window openings also provide a panoramic view out over Deschutes Estuary. The sensitivity for and inclusion of views is an important regional variant within Modernism in the Pacific Northwest. The Washington Room (west end of basement) received more design attention, both in terms of the space and the furnishings, than any other room in the building. Originally staffed by a specialist in Northwest History, the Washington Room functioned as a depository for materials pertaining to the Pacific Northwest. The shelving originally displayed books from the State Library͛s collection of Pacific Northwest materials, including volumes purchased in 1853-1855 by Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens. Rare documents were kept within a secure area in the stacks. The major contemporary artworks commissioned for the Pritchard Building were an integral part of the architectural design, intended to enhance the building and accent the human element. This extensive inclusion of artwork was possible largely due to the economical design of the building. The Capitol Committee approved embellishments for up to 2-1/2 percent of the total construction costs, and gave Paul Thiry and Maryan Reynolds full authority to choose the artists and the type of art. Commissioned specifically for individual locations within the building, all of the site-specific works inside the building were emblematic of midcentury regional modern aesthetics and were executed by major figures in the American art world working at the peaks of their careers. Artwork commissioned for the building included: (exterior) bronze sundial, bronze sculpture; (first floor) marble wall mosaic, untitled mural on canvas, marble side and coffee tables, (basement) Washington Room murals, color transparencies. Physical description: The Pritchard Building is located between 15th and 16th Avenues Southwest. Situated immediately south of the Legislative Building, framed between the O'Brien and Cherberg buildings, Pritchard completes the south end of the original Wilder and White Capitol group master plan (1928). Character defining spaces and features include: ͻMassing, consisting of low front volume and tall rear stack ͻWilkeson sandstone cladding ͻWindow bays along the front volume ͻArtwork commissioned as part of the original building construction ͻWashington Room (west end of the basement) ͻWaffle slab stack design The elevated building site slopes gradually downward from the southeast to the north. This allows the building a prominent position, matching the scale of adjacent

June 2021 < Intentionally Blank > CAPITOL LAKECAPIT – DESCHUTESOL LAKE – DESCHUTESESTUARY ESTUARY Long-Term Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Long-Term Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Executive Summary This Aquatic Invasive Species Discipline Report describes the potential impacts of the Capitol Lake – Deschutes Estuary Long-Term Management Project on aquatic invasive species in the area surrounding the project. The Capitol Lake – Deschutes Estuary includes the 260-acre Capitol Lake Basin, located on the Washington State Capitol Campus, in Olympia, Washington. Long-term management strategies and actions are needed to address issues in the Capitol Lake – Deschutes Estuary project area. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being prepared to document the potential environmental impacts of various alternatives and determine how these alternatives meet the long-term objectives identified for the watershed. Aquatic invasive species (AIS) include nonnative plants and animals that rely on the aquatic environment for a portion of their life cycle and can spread to new areas of the state, causing economic or environmental harm. The impacts of construction and operation of each alternative are assessed based on the potential of project alternatives to result in changes in abundance or distribution of AIS within or outside the project area from AIS transport into or out of the project area. Where impacts are identified, the report discusses measures that can be taken to minimize or mitigate potential impacts.

    REPORT ON DESIGNATION LPB 415/12 Name and Address of Property: Cedar Park Elementary School 13224 37th Ave NE Legal Description: Lots 1 through 4 and 21 through 24 in Block 4 of Cedar Park No. 2, as per plat recorded in Volume 28 of Plats, page 33, records of King County; except south 20 feet of said Lot 4; situated in the City of Seattle, County of King, State of Washington. At the public meeting held on September 5, 2012, the City of Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board voted to approve designation of the Cedar Park Elementary School located at 13224 37th Ave NE as a Seattle Landmark based upon satisfaction of the following standards for designation of SMC 25.12.350: D. It embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style, or period, or a method of construction; and E. It is an outstanding work of a designer or builder. ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION Building Site The former Cedar Park Elementary School is located on the eastern side of a 4.38-acre aggregated parcel. The school site slopes rapidly down to the west from 39th Avenue NE, to a leveled building pad, essentially recessing the building below street grade on its eastern and northern sides. The sloped setback areas are densely landscaped with mature trees and shrubs, effectively screening the school from public view from the east and north. The main entrance to the former school is from the north, with a wide concrete stairway descending down from NE 135th Street with flanking rockeries to a small courtyard accessing the school’s main northern entrance, and by a paved driveway descending to a small parking court adjacent to and to the north of the school’s auditorium, kitchen, and gymnasium wing.
