The Fern Hill neighborhood is one of the oldest in Tacoma and home to some of the city’s most interesting historic buildings. The historic building at 8310 S. Park Ave. Tacoma was originally built to serve as a Wells Fargo stop. Today the Fern Hill Coffee House pays homage to its past as a family friendly eatery & coffee shop.
Two of the district’s churches, the Fern Hill Baptist Church and the Fern Hill Methodist Episcopal Church were built in the 1890s. The Fern Hill School, which dates back to 1888, recently underwent an $11 million renovation that restored its Georgian revival-style architecture to its original glory and the school once again stands as the focal point of this historic community.
