Welcome to 301 Flowers

(06/08/17 1:01pm)

One of my favorite things to do when I’m alone is to walk through The Chronicle office in 301 Flowers as if it were my first time. Each time I do, I discover something new as 301 Flowers is a place of history. If it’s not the photos of staff members from years past, inspirational memos from previous editors or a framed front page from 1971, something will take you back to a different era of history. Most recently, I found a stylebook from 1979 with tips on how to edit and write good stories, amongst other advice. In this stylebook, there was also a short history of The Chronicle.
