History
Newspaper Row began when the
Geary Street was set as the center of news in the city.[1]
Newspaper Row was partially destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Fire. The Call's Spreckels building and the Examiner's Hearst building were slowly gutted over two hours, and the Chronicle's building was similarly gutted, but the brick remained and was rebuilt.[4] The three newspapers published a combined issue from the office of the Oakland Tribune.[5][6]
Relocation
The two surviving papers later relocated to near the intersection of Fifth Street and Mission Street, The San Francisco Examiner (Fifth) and the San Francisco Chronicle (Mission) across from the San Francisco Mint.
