The Pittsburgh Post Gazette
Updated May 2017 | By Matthew Christopher
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has remained one of Pittsburgh's leading news sources since its foundation in 1786 as the Pittsburgh Gazette. After a merger with the Sunday Press, the Post Gazette moved into their offices on Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh in 1962. The offices had been built in 1927 and featured presses that spanned three floors. They relocated in 2015, leaving this building closed awaiting redevelopment. It remained untouched for over a year until the end of 2016 when work started to gut the building for reuse. I was able to visit it shortly before the work began - the staff of the newspaper recognized the historic significance of the site and have done the best they can to document it before it is lost. These are its final weeks.
