English: Although HABS describes this as "1865 Initial Construction", that is a bit misleading in this case. Job Carr's 1865 cabin that b7 1869 served as Tacoma's first post office was moved west to Point Defiance Park in 1900. That cabin was demolished in 1916; the cabin depicted here is a 1917 reproduction, which deteriorated over time and was finally dismantled in 1980. Another replica was built in 2000 as the Job Carr Cabin Museum in a small park at the foot of North 30th Street on Old Town.
