In 1900, Leopold F. Schmidt (founder of Tumwater’s Capital Brewing Company which was the first name of the Olympia Brewing

Company) built a modest commercial structure in downtown Seattle to house his brewing offices. The building was designed by

Austrian architect Carl Alfred Breitung, who went on to design several other landmark buildings in Seattle. This three-story

Renaissance Revival building later became known as the Jackson Building (due to its location on Jackson Street), and was the

first building to be renovated in the Pioneer Square National Historic District. 24
