The story
The Enquirer had published from this Vine Street site since 1866 and replaced its older buildings with this 14-story limestone headquarters, designed by Lockwood Greene & Co. The printing plant moved out in 1979 and the offices in 1992. The building served as the exterior of the fictional station in the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati. In 2015 it was divided into two hotels, a Hampton Inn & Suites (Suite A) and a Homewood Suites (Suite B).
