The following text is from St. Patrick's Website:
In 1891 there were three Catholic churches in Tacoma; St. Leo, Holy Rosary and St. Mary. Because of the close proximity of the three churches, and the recognized need of a church in Old Town, Bishop Junger gave permission to dissolve St. Mary's and to establish St. Patrick Church in the Old Town section of Tacoma. Early in the spring of 1892, a small 30' x 40' frame church was built on the corner of Tacoma Avenue and Starr. The modest wooden church building also served as the Parish school.
On August 15, 1905 the original wooden church building was destroyed by fire. Construction of the current church building at No. 12th & "J" was begun in 1906 and the church was dedicated by Bishop O'Dea on June 30, 1907.
The structure is located at the edge of the North Slope National Historic District, one of the largest residential National Historic Districts in the United States. It is a beautiful structure with gorgeous stained glass, stonework and woodwork.
