Pittsburg Post Dispatch Building - Pittsburg, CA - Newspaper Headquarters on Waymarking.com

?"Built in 1923, this brick building was the home of the coast counties gas and electric company which provided utilities to the city of Pittsburg. The company closed its office in the 1950s and the building became a newspaper publishing and distribution center for Pittsburg Post Dispatch. After merging with the Contra Costa Times, the newspaper closed operations here in 1997. The Pittsburg Historical Society purchased the building from the Lesher Foundation and created a museum and cultural center. Our moto, by curator Jack Aiello, 'Were it not for the collection and the preservation of memorabilia, the history of the area would fade away.' remains the watch word of the society as we continue to serve the community."

Visit Instructions:
A photograph that depicts your presence at the building is necessary. This can be a picture of your GPSr in the foreground in only one of your many pictures, or if you're not too camera shy, put you or a team member in the picture. Maybe even buy a newspaper while they're still in business. They need all the help they can get. No picture, no new log. And no icon.
