Vintage Northern Pacific Hospital Tacoma framed print, restored from an original early 1900s postcard: "Northern Pacific Hospital, Tacoma, Washington"

This print shows the Northern Pacific Railway's hospital in Tacoma, set on its lawn above a dirt road. It's reproduced from an original antique postcard in our own collection, scanned at 1200 dpi and carefully restored: we removed dust, specks, and the printing dot pattern and brightened the faded inks, while keeping the original color and printed caption.

A LITTLE HISTORY
The Northern Pacific Railway's workers paid into their own health plan, the Northern Pacific Beneficial Association, which ran hospitals along the line from Minnesota to Puget Sound. Tacoma's was the westernmost. Designed by Lambert Bassindale of St. Paul, it opened on August 26, 1905, with 500 railroad employees on hand to celebrate, on the hill just south of McKinley Park. It cared for railroad families for more than sixty years, closed in 1969, and was torn down in 1973.

THE SET
The same postcard is also on a mug, an ornament, a puzzle, a coaster, a tea towel, a poster and a canvas.

Details:
- Restored reproduction of an antique early 1900s Tacoma postcard
- The postcard is shown on a cream border, like a mounted print
- Museum-quality matte paper behind a protective acrylic cover
- Kiln-dried pine frame in black, walnut, or white
- Hanging hardware is built into the back of the frame, so it arrives ready to hang
- Restored by us, printed and framed by our production partner
- Ships to US addresses only

Please note: this is a new print, not the original postcard. Small marks of age are part of the original card's character. Colors may vary slightly between screens and printed products. Sizes and frame colors are shown in the listing options.

Gift idea: A great gift for Tacoma history buffs, old-house owners, and anyone who loves the City of Destiny, or a piece of home for a Tacoman who moved away.
