But that wasn't the end of the paper's long history of acquiring other
newspapers. On April 23, 1960, the Post-Gazette  purchased the
Sun-Telegraph from the Hearst Corp. and moved its own operations to the
Sun-Telegraph building on Grant Street.

For 18 months the Post-Gazette published a Sunday edition of the
consolidated papers, but the Pittsburgh market would not support two
Sunday newspapers.
