520 4th Ave E, Olympia, WA 98501 – Historic Trophy Asset / Landmark Restaurant & Mixed-Use Building For Sale Rare opportunity to acquire a true trophy asset and one of downtown Olympia’s most recognizable landmark commercial buildings. Located on a prominent corner lot in the heart of downtown and just steps from Olympia City Hall, this 8,400 SF terra cotta–tiled Gothic Revival building offers a compelling blend of architectural character, restaurant infrastructure, and flexible mixed-use potential. The property was designed by renowned architect Joseph Wohleb and built by the Titus family, both instrumental in shaping Olympia’s historic downtown core. Originally part of the early Olympia Motors complex, the building historically served as Ford and later Chevrolet dealership offices and showroom space, before later use as a computer store and, most recently, a restaurant and bar. County records list the construction date as 1927, while historical society references cite 1923. A major change of use occurred in 1988, converting the building to office space and subsequently to a bar and restaurant. Significant renovations were completed in 1999 for anchor tenant Ramblin Jacks, modernizing systems and food-service infrastructure while preserving the building’s historic character.
