Vintage Pierce County Court House and Armory Tacoma framed print, restored from an original 1920s postcard: "The Pierce County Court House and State Armory, Tacoma, Wash."

This print shows the courthouse clock tower and red turrets above a quiet corner, with the armory dome behind and early cars on the 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 old Pierce County Courthouse went up on Tacoma Avenue in the early 1890s. It was designed by the Tacoma firm Proctor & Dennis, and its stone clock tower rose about 230 feet, with four clock faces each 8 feet across. For more than sixty years it was one of the city's landmarks. It was torn down in 1959, after the new County-City Building replaced it. The brick State Armory beside it on this card still stands on South 11th Street.

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