The New Review and Herald Building

Adding to the excitement of the summer, a new building was under construction to house the growing demands upon the Review and Herald. In early May the lot just east of the plant had been purchased, and a building, an exact duplicate of the one then in use, was erected. Wrote James White on August 22: 2BIO 328.4

A second office building is nearly completed for the use of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, the size and form of the one now occupied. The brick are laid, and the roof is on. It will probably be ready for use by the first of October. The cost of the site and building properly furnished will be a little less than $10,000. This sum we propose to raise before January, 1872, in stock shares of $10.—Ibid., August 22, 1871 2BIO 328.5
