English: The murals on the Fifth Avenue side of the room give a turn-of-the-century view of Newspaper Row, located south of city hall at the intersection of Park Row and Nassau Streets. The World (1881-1930), the Tribune (1841-1924), and the New York Times (1851- ) clustered their offices here with other metropolitan dailies in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The brownstone with a gilded dome, built in 1890 (enlarged in 1908) by George B. Post (1837-1913), housed the offices of Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World. Next door, in a red brick building with a clock tower designed by Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895), was Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune. Hunt’s structure, one of Manhattan’s first skyscraper and earliest elevator buildings, stood until 1966. From 1851 to 1904, the New York Times used three buildings on Newspaper Row for its offices (41 Park Row) was located in a building rebuilt and enlarged by George B. Post in 1889.
