The Herald Building
The Herald Building in downtown Bellingham is on the corner of State and Chestnut Streets. The building, built in 1926 as an eight-story office building, houses The Bellingham Herald's main offices on the first and second floors; tenant businesses occupy the upper floors. The lit sign atop the building served sailors as a navigation aid for many years. Morse Hardware had a similar sign saying "MORSE" on top of it for decades - and boaters would use the two signs at night for navigation.
