Can I renovate Holgerson House?
Yes. Think about it this way: Holgerson House is a prized possession to the whole city, in addition to being your prize. The city wants you to renovate because it keeps what they value as their pride and joy looking good. In this sense, you’re a notable citizen and the Landmarks Commission are your partners in helping you make decisions you can be proud of and save you money and time. The simple rule of thumb is: If it’s a renovation inside the house, just go ahead – no review is needed. If it’s a renovation to the exterior of the house, just present what you want or need to do the members, who meet every two weeks and are very friendly and folksy bunch, and they will help you choose the best steps forward to getting it done if you haven’t already figured it out yourself. Hey, you can even get on the commission yourself as it’s made up of normal homeowners in Tacoma who have a passion for beautiful craftsmanship, history, and architecture.
