Journal Courier Building
Journal and Courier Building
| Dates: | 1920 |
| Location: | 221-223 N. Sixth Street, Lafayette, Indiana |
| Architect: | Nicol, Scholer & Hoffman, of Lafayette, Indiana |
This building was built for Henry Marshall, owner of the Lafayette Journal Courier, in 1920. The site was purchased in August, 1919. Marshall had bought the Lafayette Journal and the Lafayette Sunday Times in 1914, merging the Times into the Journal in 1915 . In 1919 he bought the major rival of the Journal, the Daily Courier. The papers were published as normal until New Year's Day, 1920, when the first issue of the merged Lafayette Journal Courier appeared. A few years later the name was changed to the Lafayette Journal and Courier, the present name of the paper. This building is still used as the offices of the Journal and Courier, which plans to move printing operations to a suburban location. The Painters & Decorators building next door, also by Nicol, Scholer & Hoffman, was later acquired by the paper for office space.
