The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 put the City of Syracuse on the map as a primary producer and distributor of salt and beer. Manufacturing and distribution industry in general boomed and so did the city’s population.

History ran through the city’s center at Clinton square, right in front of that plot on the corner of Salina and Genesee Streets that would one day be The Post. 

When the Canal was demolished history continued to run through Clinton Square; on the presses inside The Post Standard. Breaking news, documentation of history, and local stories flooded from the doors of 101 North Salina Street.

1806
Henry Bogardus bought the first lot in a newly formed settlement on the corner of Salina and Genesee Streets. He opened a corner tavern known as Bogardus Corners.
1825
Erie Canal Construction was completed, connecting commerce between cities from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. The Canal made Clinton Square the commercial, financial, and governmental center of the city.
1844
The original Bogardus Corners was replaced by the Empire House, a large hotel and business block which stretched around the corner on Genesee and Salina Streets.
1918
New York State Legislature abandoned the Erie Canal due to failing infrastructure, and alternative transportation methods emerging. The City of Syracuse purchased the section of the canal that ran through the city center and began filling it in.
1942
The Empire House was destroyed by fire in 1942 and replaced by the Atlantic Building "Block 81" in the following years. In 1946, Block 81 was sold to a holding company.

A group of Syracuse out-of-town investors buy the property which changed ownership three times since 1950.
1967
Investors submit a proposal to combine all of Block 81 and adjacent Block 77A, creating a super block on the north side of Clinton Square. 14 buildings needed to be demolished to make way for the future home of the Herald Company, publisher of the Post Standard. New York City architectural firm, William Ginsberg Assoc. was selected to deign The Herald Company's new headquarters located at 101 North Salina Street.
