The Visitor later bought out other rival afternoon papers, the Daily Press in 1895 and the Evening Times in 1897.
In the midst of and after the acquisitions, the paper was variously known as the Press-Visitor and the Times-Visitor before eventually settling on the Raleigh Times by 1901 following purchase by John C. Drewry, who later moved the fledgling paper to its longtime home at 14 East Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh.
Under Park's leadership, the revamped Raleigh Times resumed production in 1912 and became the main rival of the much larger News & Observer.
Unlike other newspaper editors, Park abstained from editorials and instead entertained readers with stories of his world travels.
The former downtown headquarters of The Times has been converted into a bar and restaurant that utilizes a theme inspired by the defunct paper.
