Historic Tacoma Forum and Tea Feb 24th
Update: Last call! Send your email now. If you’re into your historic home, you shouldn’t miss this talk.
Are you looking for a bit of inspiration in tackling your home remodeling projects? Do you want to do your historic home right?
Meet architectural historian and historic preservationist Caroline T. Swope, author of Classic Houses of Seattle, as she discusses the challenges encountered in restoring the original charm of her 1906 Tacoma house. Ms. Swope and her house will be featured in the March 2007 edition of Sunset Magazine and on the Tacoma Historical Society’s Tour of Historic Homes in May. The house is currently nominated to the Tacoma Register of Historic Places.
Meet experienced trades people involved on this year long renovation, and discuss tricks of the trade. See work in progress and ask questions about appropriateness of lifestyle upgrades, code requirements, and energy efficiency. Learn about the financial benefits of listing a house as a Tacoma Landmark.
Space is limited, and reservations must be made in advance. Reserve your space by calling 253-370-6984 or email info@historictacoma.net.

One bit of clarification to the above post—the artists create two sculptures, one for the CHILD to take home and one for the Museum’s collection.

“but in the ‘sketch something vague and let someone else do the work’ sort of way.”
Ouch!
Good thing he’s the only one in the design world who doesn’t do every step of production themselves.

“…patients at the Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital…”
Nice. Too bad each one can’t get a piece.
