108 N 2nd
1908 - Democrat Building
Classical Revival
This single-story brick commercial building features an alley-side cut corner raised entry, limestone detailing, a
Classical Revival style stone entry surround and a triangular pediment.
The building exterior is well preserved save for the replacement of the doors (1986) and the infilling of all basement
alleyway sidewall windows (1983, 1989). The main storefront window is now a single light and the transom area is
covered.
This building housed the Cherokee Democrat newspaper its construction in 1908. A Mr. Goldie, of Goldie Printing
Company, the owner of the newspaper, is credited with designing the building. That company owned the
newspaper. The Times Publishing Company, which published a daily paper, succeeded the Democrat and was
operated by Dwight Clark and was here until 1962.
