The historic
Schmidt House was built in 1904 for Leopold F. Schmidt,
founder of the Olympia Brewing Company, his wife and their
five children. The home is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, the Tumwater Register of
Historic Places and is within the Tumwater Historic
District. The picturesque grounds with native gardens,
bronze statues and reflective pool are beautifully
maintained.
Today the
Schmidt House is maintained by The Olympia-Tumwater
Foundation as a site for non profit meetings, private parties and business
functions. Contributions for its use help to fund
maintenance costs.
