Historic Tacoma Forum and Tea Feb 24th (22. February 2007, 15:39 by Derek) ~ Help Support Historic Tacoma
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.

Where is this 1906 house located? For those of us who prefer drive-by shootings…

After reserving a seat, do we pay at the event, and for those of us who have been putting it off, can we join Historic Tacoma at the event itself?

I’ve received some answers to these questions:
The home is located in North End and the address will be provided when your reservation is confirmed.
Reservations must be pre-paid so we can get an accurate head count. You’ll receive payment instructions once you’ve contacted Historic Tacoma. Please don’t wait. Reserve now!
...can we join Historic Tacoma at the event itself?
Yes, membership forms will be provided at the tea. We will be unable to accept credit cards. You can also join online.
Historic Tacoma is working hard to change city policy in order to better preserve historic buildings in our neighborhoods. If you care about Tacoma’s character and old buildings, please join us!

Caroline Swope is a very nice, polite, kind lady. She’s got a heart of gold. I couldn’t think of a rude thing to say about such a princess!
I can’t wait to hear her speak! She should be charging $400, not $25!
