The ''Houston Post'' was a newspaper that had its headquarters in Houston, Texas, United States.〔"Benn's media," Volume 3. Benn Business Information Services, 2002. (148 ). Retrieved from Google Books on June 20, 2010. "Houston Post Co. 4747 SW Freeway, Houston, TX 77001"〕 In 1995, the newspaper shut down, and its assets were purchased by the ''Houston Chronicle''. ==History== The newspaper was established on February 19, 1880, by Gail Borden Johnson. Though that original publication ceased in October 1884, the ''Houston Post'' was re-established with the merger of the ''Houston Morning Chronicle'' and the ''Houston Evening Journal'' on April 5, 1885. J. L. Watson was the business manager and Rienzi M. Johnston was the editor. Short story writer O. Henry worked briefly for the ''Post'' in 1895 and 1896. He had to leave his position at the ''Post'' when he was indicted for embezzlement from previous employment at a bank in Austin. For many years, the ''Post'' was owned by the Hobby family, who also began Houston's first radio station, KPRC (AM) in 1925. Amid declining sales, the ''Post'' was sold in 1983 to the ''Toronto Sun''. Four years later, MediaNews Group, led by William Dean Singleton, bought the paper. The ''Houston Post'' building, in the 1970s, had contemporary artwork, slate floors, and wood-grain concrete walls. Tours of the building and its facilities were given at the time.〔Lomax, John Nova.

Its assets and liabilities were acquired by Hearst Corporation, the publisher of the ''Post''s rival daily ''Houston Chronicle''. The Hearst Corporation acquired the Houston Post headquarters, which included the newspaper's printing facilities and five offset press lines. Hearst began to use the facilities as part of the production of the ''Houston Chronicle''.〔"(HOUSTON POST PUBLISHES LAST EDITION; HEARST ACQUIRES OPERATING ASSETS )." Hearst Corporation.
