Vintage St. Patrick's Church Tacoma framed print, restored from an original early 1900s postcard: "St. Patrick's Church, Tacoma."

This print shows the gray stone church with its square tower and round rose window. 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
St. Patrick's parish began in 1891 in a small frame church in North Tacoma. The stone church on this card replaced it. Designed by Tacoma architect Frederick Heath, its cornerstone was laid on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1906. The first Christmas Masses were held in its basement that December while work went on above, and it was dedicated in 1907. The church still stands on North J Street at the edge of the North Slope Historic District, and it's still an active parish.

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