Description
Chicago newspaper popular in the latter half of the nineteenth-century founded in 1854. The paper was originally published in the fifth story of the McCormick Block, on the corner of Randolph and Dearborn streets. The circulation was but little over one thousand, with no advertising patronage worth mentioning. In a very short time, these quarters were found to be too small, and a removal was made to No. 74 Randolph Street. The close of the Civil War found the Times one of the most prosperous newspapers in the city, and it was compelled to enlarge its quarters and press facilities. In 1866, a new building with a stone front was erected on the southwest corner of Dearborn Street and Calhoun Place. It was five stories in height and intended expressly for the Times. The newspaper merged with theĀ Chicago HeraldĀ in 1895.
