Historic Tacoma's 2009 Old House Tour

Historic Tacoma invites the public to take a rare peek inside seven of Tacoma’s most interesting and well-preserved historic homes. All seven homes are examples of American Four-Square architecture, the early 20th Century ‘basic box’ design that proved so popular and so adaptable. Some were built to suit the simple needs of workingmen’s families. Others were the grand residences of the city’s elite. All remain private, single-family residences to this day.

See our tour homes for the American Four-Square Tour.
