Our story

Real postcards, carefully restored

Every design starts as an antique postcard of Tacoma, Washington, mailed between about 1900 and 1930. We scan each card, then remove decades of stains, creases and fading while keeping the original colors and captions.

The result is old Tacoma the way it looked when the card was new: Stadium High School, the Hotel Winthrop, Wright Park, Point Defiance and Mount Rainier over the city.

Before and after restoring a Carnegie Library Tacoma postcard
1We collect original Tacoma postcards from the early 1900s.
2Each card is scanned and cleaned up, keeping the original image and caption.
3Your print is made to order and shipped through our Etsy shop.

A piece of Tacoma history for your wall

Great for Tacoma natives, new neighbors, history lovers and anyone who misses the City of Destiny.
