Park Avenue School

I had an all day class at Park Avenue School at 6701 Park Avenue. The school was built in 1912 and Heath & Gove were the architects. There were additions to the original building in 1918, 1920, 1949, 1959. There is a photo of the building from 1928 here http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/buildings/bldg1image.asp?j=1&o=1&n=22846&i=4827#text

Greeting from Fern Hill

The Fern Hill neighborhood has a wonderful mural that boldly declares Greetings from Fern Hill! The mural is located on the corner of South 84th Street and South Park Avenue on the Foam and Fabric Building. The lead artist for the mural is Kelda Martensen.

This webpage shows the mural as it is being developed.
