If you ever venture into Downtown and go by the Theater District, you will not help but notice a vacant building being demolished. That building was the home of the Houston Chronicle. According to websites, the Chronicle’s downtown building had its own three story printing press. Two of the three stories were below ground, while one was above ground.
In July 2014, the newspaper announced that it was relocating all of its downtown employees to the former Houston Post building near IH 610 and US 59. This baffled some people since the former building in downtown had a printing press.
The only reason the newspaper would want to move is because it was now printing at the West Loop building. The cost of sending the paper to print from the downtown location apparently was not feasible.
