This 1946 aerial view of Olympia is looking northeast, and was taken by aerial photographer Leonard Delano of Portland. Landmarks
include: Olympia’s National Guard Armory on Eastside Street (the white building with dark roof, just above and to the right of center);
the Washington School, which currently houses the Esther Knox Administrative Building and the Avanti High School (just to the right
of the Armory); and rows of sweetgum and oak trees on each side of Legion (those trees are now stately giants; see
http://www.thurstontalk.com/2015/06/14/trees-legion-way-olympia/ for more info). Plum Street runs from just right of center to
upper left where it becomes East Bay Drive and disappears off the edge of the photo. 5
