The Baltimore Morning Herald was a daily newspaper published in Baltimore in the beginning of the 20th century.
History
The first edition was published on February 10, 1900. The paper succeeded the Morning Herald and was absorbed later by the Baltimore Evening Herald on August 31, 1904, (six months after the devastating Great Baltimore Fire) appearing on weekends as the Baltimore Sunday Herald. Its offices were located at the northwest corner of St. Paul and East Fayette Streets, facing the west end of the recently completed monumental Baltimore City Circuit Courthouses of 1896–1900 (renamed for Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. in 1985).
The building of editorial offices and printing plant was devastated by the Great Baltimore Fire of February 1904 and stood on the northern edge of the Downtown Baltimore "Burnt District". The Herald printed an edition the first night of the fire on the press of the nearby The Washington Post (40 miles southwest), in exchange for providing photographs to The Post, but could not continue this arrangement because of a long-standing earlier arrangement between the Post and the competing Baltimore Evening News. For the next five weeks The Herald was then printed nightly on the press 90 miles northeast of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph and transported back to Baltimore on a special train, provided free of charge by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B. & O. R.R.).
