TACOMA'S HISTORIC DISTRICT AND ALL THINGS OLD!

I work many of the Pierce County areas and I have always had an interest in homes and architecture of ALL styles, but I have a special appreciation for the “Grand Ol’ Victorian,” “Warm, Cottage Craftsman,” “Shotgun” and “North End Bungalow,” not to mention, our beautiful Neo-Classical homes. Our historic area is a wonderful mixture of eclectic history. The value of working with someone with a real love of the area in which you live is immeasurable.

THE "GREY MANSION"/IS IT INVISIBLE?

What's up with the "Grey Mansion?"
Am I the only one that see's it for it's incredible historic contribution to Tacoma? Does no one else recognize it's incredible architecture? Is nobody else intriqued with the fact that it was the Music Professor's home when the Seminary was Whitworth College? Or that it was built as a replica of Henery Wadsworth Longfellow's Cambridge home? Come on People!! This place should be GONE! The list price is $789,000, but the seller will look at anything! I mean where else can you get over 4000 square feet of view property for $196 a square foot. That doesn't include the historic value and the potential for this home to be one of Tacoma's most prominent historic structures. After all....it was, back in the day.


COME ON PEOPLE!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
