The SITE OF THE FIRST TIMES AND SEASONS' BUILDING is marked by the cellar excavation and the foundation stones. Here, until 1845, was published the Mormon newspaper, a bi-weekly that printed the Prophet's revelations, the proclamations of the Mormon leaders, and, in keeping with the customs of the times, long accounts of hurricanes, fires and other disasters from all over the globe. - Nauvoo Guide, pgs 43-44
Archaeological digs were done at the site mid 1970s. Today the site is fenced and there is a stone lined basement exposed.
