Old City Hall Historic District
Old City Hall Historic District, Historic district in downtown Tacoma, United States.
The Old City Hall Historic District encompasses multiple landmarks and buildings that represent late 19th century architectural development in Washington State.
The Old City Hall building, completed in 1892, served as the center of municipal operations until 1930, marking Tacoma's growth during the railroad era.
The district includes the Northern Pacific Headquarters, Elks Temple, and Winthrop Hotel, reflecting the evolution of civic and commercial architecture from 1888 to 1925.
Local preservation commissions review modifications to buildings within the district to maintain historical authenticity while allowing adaptive reuse of spaces.
Former municipal offices and commercial spaces have transformed into modern retail venues and urban residences while preserving original architectural elements.
