The Times-Picayune building occupies a corner in the Central Business District, marked by the weathered, etched lettering of the newspaper’s name above its stone entrance. Founded in eighteen thirty-seven, the paper once operated out of a building on Camp Street where reporters famously used carrier pigeons to rush reports from the Mexican-American War. Editors like George Washington Cable and William Faulkner worked within these city walls, documenting everything from yellow fever epidemics to the daily rhythm of the Crescent City.
