The Old Post Standard Building was originally built for a confectioner
in 1884. This building was designed to fit a narrow commercial lot.
It is an adaptation of the Richardsonain Romanesque and there are
decorative molded brick spandrels between floors. The Syracuse Post
published its first issue on July 10th, 1894 then merged with The
Standard paper, publishing the first Post-Standard on January 1st,
1899. The entire facade of the building was remodeled during the
merger. The building now contains lofts apartments for rent.
