Background
The Telegraph was founded in 1831 by Theophilus Fenn and published by Fenn and James Wallace until 1843. It was published by various entities until 1901 when it was published by the Telegraph Printing Company with E. J. Stackpole as president. Records indicate it was first issued from a printing office on Market Street near Third, and later occupied various other buildings until it was moved to the property on Federal Square in April, 1905 where the Telegraph annex had been erected in the rear of an old building whose site was later occupied by the new Telegraph building.
