Ignore the apparent links in green...I liked the image, wanted a regular reminder of what and why I am doing this. It's a very
personal way to entice others to follow the path. Feel free to engage.

Not sure the previous owner but think it was a savings and loan building converted to Nixon
Newspapers headquarters, and daily Wabash Plain Dealer with re-plated Times Star for
mail subscribers.
Note the PLAIN DEALER name carved above the brass front doors and
clock* outside at the corner.
The press was in the basement as was newsprint storage which went under the sidewalks
on Canal and Wabash streets.
The safe door for secured deposit boxes was never closed and was permanent since its
weight would collapse the floor if an attempt to remove it was planned.
Entering the main front door, you passed the stairs to the basement and the office on the
left was Nixon Newspapers headquarters for Wabash, Peru and Michigan City newspapers,
Nixon Newspaper Associates, Nixon Newspapers, Inc., and Nixon Newspapers
Benevolent Association, Inc.
The office to the right was occupied by Joe Nixon (my father) who was General Manager
and the middle lobby divided the teller stations so on the right the Plain Dealer classified
advertising and subscription operations and on the left, all general administration work
for the newspaper operations was conducted. Willard Rohrer occupied the front office
to manage all business purchasing, banking, insurance, payroll, taxes, union/labor
agreements.
The far balcony offices were for the display advertising sales people when in the office
and the front balcony was for the Publisher, Eugenia Hubbard Nixon Honeywell, who
was seldom present at the office.
Beyond the far balcony, upper floor stairs would exit to Wabash Street and may have
influenced visitors dealing with the news department or the daily production of "hot
metal" typesetting for news and advertising content for the daily printed product in the
basement where the rotary press churned out 800 pound paper rolls into the folded
broadsheet or tabloid newspapers.
*The clock was manually operated and every 8 days it had to be wound up. It was
astounding how many people would notice if and when the clock was not on time.
