The Colonial Revival Telegram Building is located at 1101 SW Washington Street. The building, with its signature clock tower, was built in 1922 by Grace Rassmussen Company to house the city's Evening Telegram newspaper until the business folded eight years later. In 1994, the Peter Nathan family purchased the 33,000-square-foot structure and began a complete restoration which was completed in 2004.Instructions for logging waymark: A photograph is required that shows you (or your GPS receiver, if you are waymarking solo) and the place.
