Marion Avenue and Taylor - Punta Gorda Herald

 .  The first issue of the Punta Gorda Herald was published February 17, 1893.  Its original building was at Cross Street and Retta Esplanade located on the lower floor of a cigar factory, burned to the ground in 1895. The offices then moved to the location pictured at Marion Avenue and Taylor Street.   In September,  1901 the Punta Gorda Herald was purchased by Adrian P. Jordan. In 1913, Jordan built a new building on the corner of Taylor and Herald Court.   The building was used until it was damaged by Hurricane Charley in 2004.  The Herald SUN is currently located on Harborview Road in Port Charlotte.
