Northern Pacific Office Building
Northern Pacific Office Building, Victorian office building in downtown Tacoma, United States.
The three-story brick and stone structure stands on a high bluff overlooking Commencement Bay harbor and railroad switching yards.
Built in 1891, the Northern Pacific Railway headquarters included 53 offices, storerooms, and 19 fireproof vaults for essential railway operations.
The Second Empire architectural design reflects the importance of railway administration buildings in late nineteenth century American commercial development.
The building maintains its original location across from Tacoma City Hall at the northern end of Pacific Avenue, a central business district.
A circular tower section remains from the original structure, while the rectangular portion underwent demolition in 1975.
