dc.description This photograph published in the Nov. 13, 1949, edition of the Enquirer and News shows the homes that occupied the future site of the newspaper at the intersection of Tompkins Street (later named United Way) and West Van Buren Street. The home nearest Tompkins was that of William F. Neale, built by Lyman Pittee in 1884. Pittee, a renown builder known for his octagon home among others, also built the home of Maurice H. Neale at 155 W. Van Buren. At 151 W. Van Buren stood what was long known as the Callahan house, built in the 1860s, and at 145 W. Van Buren was the home of Walter Gregory, a Civil War veteran and traveling salesman for Advance Thresher. The Enquirer and News began construction on its new headquarters in 1950 and began publishing there two years later. en_US
