History and architectural features
editThis historic structure is a three-story, L-shaped, brick building that was designed in the Queen Anne style. The original section was built between 1890 and 1891. The rear section was expanded in 1900, 1903, and 1914 to accommodate the growing printing company. It originally housed the New Era newspaper and printing company. A number of notable academic journals and books were printed here between 1893 and 1922, including Popular Science Monthly and the Journal of Negro History.[2] When listed in 1983, it was occupied by a Rite Aid drug store.[3]
