Description
Tacoma Washington Stadium High School is the name of this fine art black and white photograph. This remarkable Black and White image is of the famous Tacoma Stadium High School. The High School recently went through an extensive remodeling.
In 1891 Northern Pacific Railroad started construction on a grand hotel on what was known at that time as “Blackwell Point.” The railroad had planned to build a hotel in the style of a French Chateau. Brick, imported from China and sandstone from Italy were used as ballast in the ships coming in the Puget Sound. In 1893 construction was stopped because of the Great Depression. The building was used as a storage site until it was gutted by a fire in 1895.
In 1904 the Tacoma School board purchased the building for their new “Tacoma High School.” It opened in 1906. In 1913 the name was changed to the “Stadium High School” after its adjacent bowl shaped athletic field. In 1977 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This photograph would be a great addition to any fine art collection. It would look great in a den, lobby, waiting area, conference room, restaurant and lounge, café. It would be a great addition to any art gallery, museum, library, school, college. Great in a corporate lobby, conference room or executive office. Perfect in areas that you entertain friends and family. The living room, entry way, stair case, hallway, family room and home library would be excellent locations for this unique art work. The larger size is perfect for corporations and businesses with large areas that need a special, attention getting artwork that represents the quality of your services or product.
