The signage atop its five-story building dominates the Journal Square Center. John T. Rowland, Jr., a native of Jersey City, designed the building in 1921 at the time of the renovation of the area for new bridges over the Pennsylvania Railroad cut and the Hudson and Manhattan, now PATH, station. The newspaper began as the Evening Journal on May 2, 1867, at 13 Exchange Place with a reported initial capitalization of $119 and was owned by the Evening Journal Association. The paper relocated several times before settling at its namesake building at 30 "Journal" Square. It moved from Exchange Place to the Darcy Building, now the Fuller Building at Hudson and Montgomery Streets, to 158 Greene Street (between York and Montgomery Streets) in 1869, and to a new building at 37 Montgomery Streets in 1874. The newspaper moved to present-day Journal Square in 1911 and moved into its 30 Journal Square location in 1925. |publisher=New Jersey City University ] The Journal is part of the Evening Journal Associates.
