  • Display Note: The Palestine Herald building was originally completed during 1924 and housed the newspaper until 1981. As per the January 24, 1925 issue of the Palestine Daily Herald, "It was a 40 x 100' building of fire-proof construction, and modern in every sense of the word. The plant consists of a Goss Comet newspaper press, models 14 and 8 linotypes, pony cylinder, a battery of job presses and all other necessary equipment for an up-to-date newspaper plant and job printing office." The newspaper was moved in 1981 to a building on Elm and Lacy Street and the building was sold to the First Presbyterian Church. The inside of the building was refurbished by the church and has been named the W.B. Robinson Hall.
