The Washington Post was published at this site for more than half a century, from October 1893 to December 1950-reporting then, as now, the events large and small that touch the lives of the citizens of the capital city, the nation and the world.

In 1933, following a long period of general decline, The Post was purchased by Eugene Memer at a bankruptcy sale held on the steps of the building and was led by him toward distinction as one of the world's great newspapers.

This marker commemorates the ideals of honor, integrity and freedom of expression exemplified by his stewardship of The Post. It was set in place by employees who once worked at this site.
