The State Library Building - now known as the Joel M. Pritchard Building - is the only structure built solely to house the Washington State Library collection. Built in 1959, the building was designed by architect Paul Thiry, who also designed the buildings at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. The building was renamed in the late 1970s to honor legislator and civil rights leader Joel M. Pritchard. |
