Park Row

Park Row in NYC, 1869. You can see the New York Times building right there in the center. If you click on the image, it will open larger.

I visit Park Row often in New York, some of the old newspaper buildings are still there. If I remember right, this Times building is now part of Pace University.

The New York Sun (it shines for all) is up the street a bit, next to City Hall. The old building was just restored and you can see The Sun engraved on the building and on each corner sticks out a clock with the Sun logo and "shines for all" motto engraved on it.

Park Row was right across from NY City Hall and in the 1800s/early 1900s, most if not all of the newspapers were up and down Park Row, all in one area. 

Above is another view. You can see The World newspaper (with the cupola) at the left, and the Tribune building in the center and The NY Times again at right. This photo is from The Times archives. The Times building here is now part of the entrance to the ramp of the Brooklyn Bridge.
