It was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1977.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2010a}}</ref> It occupied the building until 1926 when a new main office for the ''Post'' was established at 75 West Street in the [[New York Evening Post Building]]. The building remained in use by the ''Post'' until 1970, it was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2000.<ref name="nris"/> In 1967, Schiff bought 210 South Street, the former headquarters of the ''[[New York Journal American]]'', which closed a year earlier. The building became an instantly recognizable symbol for the ''Post''. In 1995, owner [[Rupert Murdoch]] relocated the ''Post''{{'}}s news and business offices to the [[1211 Avenue of the Americas|News Corporation headquarters tower]] at 1211 [[Sixth Avenue (Manhattan)|Avenue of the Americas]] (Sixth Avenue) in midtown Manhattan. The ''Post'' shares this building with [[Fox News Channel]] and ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'', which are also owned by Murdoch. Both the ''Post'' and the New York City edition of the ''Journal'' are printed at a state-of-the-art printing plant in [[The Bronx]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kelly |first1=Keith J. |title=News Corp. in multiyear deal to print New York Post, Wall Street Journal at new NYC plant |url=https://nypost.com/2020/09/16/news-corp-in-multiyear-deal-to-print-the-post-wsj-at-new-nyc-plant/ |website=New York Post |date=September 16, 2020 |publisher=NYP Holdings, Inc. |access-date=August 7, 2022 |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114140410/https://nypost.com/2020/09/16/news-corp-in-multiyear-deal-to-print-the-post-wsj-at-new-nyc-plant/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Newspaper and Mail Deliverers Union]] has delivered the newspaper "since the early 1900s."<ref name=NYTobit>{{cite news | first = Bruce | last = Lambert | title = John F.

But the PM edition suffered the same problems with worsening daytime traffic that the afternoon ''Post'' experienced and the ''Daily News'' ultimately folded ''Tonight'' in 1981.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Friendly |first1=Jonathan |title=DAILY NEWS SAYS IT WILL END ITS TONIGHT EDITION ON AUG. 28 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/15/nyregion/daily-news-says-it-will-end-its-tonight-edition-on-aug-28.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 15, 1981 |access-date=July 30, 2021 |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114140412/https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/15/nyregion/daily-news-says-it-will-end-its-tonight-edition-on-aug-28.html |url-status=live }}</ref> By that time, circulation of the all-day ''Post'' soared to a peak of 962,000, the bulk of the increase attributed to its morning edition (It set a single-day record of 1.1 million on August 11, 1977, with the news of the arrest the night before of [[David Berkowitz]], the infamous "Son of Sam" serial killer who terrorized New York for much of that summer). However, the ''Post'' lost so much money that Murdoch decided to shut down the ''Post''{{'}}s PM edition in 1982, turning the ''Post'' into a morning-only daily.{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}} The ''Post'' and the ''Daily News'' have been locked in a bitter circulation war ever since.
