Vintage Post Office Building Tacoma framed print, restored from an original early 1900s postcard: "Post Office Bldg., Tacoma, Wash."

This print shows the grand stone post office stepping down its sloping street, with a flag flying from the roof. 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
Tacoma's Federal Building, the post office and custom house on this card, stands at 11th and A Street. Work began in 1908 and, after years of delays, the building was dedicated in July 1910. Besides the main post office it held the custom house and the federal courts, which stayed until 1992, when they moved into the restored Union Station. It's an Italian Renaissance-style stone building stepping down the hillside, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and more than a century later it's still a working post office.

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.
