Vintage Wright Park Entrance Tacoma framed print, restored from an original early 1900s postcard: "Entrance to Wright Park, Tacoma, Wash."

This print shows the entrance to Wright Park, with its famous stone lions, shady trees, and a couple out for a stroll. 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
Wright Park began in 1886, when Charles B. Wright, president of the Tacoma Land Company, gave the city about 20 acres. Wright lived in Pennsylvania and never made Tacoma his home, but the park bears his name. Local businessman Clinton P. Ferry bought a set of statues for it, and the two stone lions on this card arrived in 1891. They still guard the park's entrance on 6th Avenue today, more than 130 years later. The park is now an arboretum with hundreds of trees and the W. W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory.

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.
