This historic district was the center of the city's government and commerce during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
When urban renewal threatened the Old City Hall and the Northern Pacific Headquarters, a historic preservation movement grew up. Tacoma recaptured the elegance of the past by saving and renovating the old buildings. After the successes of these restorations more buildings were saved and downtown Tacoma is now a great place to view the Architecture of the late 1800s.
