NRHP Nomination Form"The Galveston News Building occupies the lots between the Kauffman and Runge Building and the Galveston
Cotton Exchange, which stand at opposite ends of the block. The four-bay, three-story building has an iron frame and pressed-brick walls. The south façade features pressed brick and cast stone in a Romanesque design that is one of Clayton’s most impressive works. Each floor contains arched openings of various proportions and depths. Clayton’s design included a cornice lost in the 1900 Hurricane. The roof is flat. The building originally housed
offices of the Galveston News, a newspaper published by A.H. Belo who later founded the Dallas Morning News. The News added a one-story addition on the adjoining lot to the west in 1911. The addition was remodeled in 1949. In 1963, the newspaper relocated its operations, and the Galveston News Building became a warehouse. In 1970, the front façade was refaced with plain concrete panels. John and Judy Saracco purchased the building and
restored the façade in 1995."
