located adjacent to the Intermodal Deck on Molton. The Advertiser, predecessor of which was founded in 1829, is today only a cog in the Gannett media chain. But it had a proud and illustrious history. It claims to have been the leading newspaper of the Confederate States. The paper has earned three Pulitzer Prizes (1928, 1970, 1988). Probably its pinnacle period was the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s, under the guidance of its renowned editor, Grover Hall. See the Old Advertiser Building for the Advertiser’s former offices.
