San Francisco Chronicle
The "Chronicle" was founded by brothers Charles and M. H. de Young in 1865 as "The Daily Dramatic Chronicle", and inside of 10 years, it had the largest circulation of any newspaper west of the Mississippi River. The paper's first office was in a building at the corner of Bush and Kearney Streets. The brothers then commissioned a building from Burnham and Root at 690 Market Street at the corner of Third and Kearney Streets to be their new headquarters, in what became known as Newspaper Row. The new building, San Francisco's first skyscraper, was completed in 1889. It was damaged in the 1906 earthquake, but it was rebuilt under the direction of William Polk, Burnham's associate in San Francisco. That building, known as the "Old Chronicle Building" or the "DeYoung Building", still stands and was restored in 2007. It is an historic landmark and is the location of the Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences.
Sunday magazine
In 1869, the "San Francisco Chronicle" published what is regarded as the first Sunday magazine, and the "Chicago Inter Ocean" added color to its supplement. "The New York Times Magazine" was published on September 6, 1896, and it contained the first photographs ever printed in that newspaper. During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph Pulitzer's "New York World" and William Randolph Hearst's "New York Journal". Hearst had the eight-page "Women's Home Journal" and the 16-page "Sunday American Magazine", which later became "The American Weekly". In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the "New York Journal" from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst's Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so stale as yesterday's newspaper, but "The American Weekly" may be around the house for days or weeks and lose none of its interest."
