A hilly, logged, and brambly parcel of land, the acreage was nonetheless enthusiastically received by citizens of Tacoma. Named in honor of Charles Barstow Wright, the president of the Tacoma Land Company, Wright Park and its surrounding streets and avenues soon became the early address of distinction for Tacomaas grand residences as well as many educational, religious, and medical institutions. Now, more than a century later, Tacomaas landmark Wright Park is the recipient of renewed citizen investment and appreciation, as this photographic retrospective demonstrates. |
