Printing House Row District, Historic printing district in South Loop, Chicago, United States.
The district spans four blocks along South Dearborn Street, featuring tall commercial buildings constructed with metal frames and load-bearing masonry walls.
Following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, publishing companies transformed this area into a central hub for printing operations near Dearborn Street station.
The district reflects the evolution of Chicago architecture through buildings designed by William Le Baron Jenney, Daniel Burnham, and Holabird & Roche.
The district contains restored commercial spaces and residential units, connected to public transportation through nearby metro and bus stations.
The buildings feature narrow floor plans specifically designed to maximize natural light exposure for historical printing and engraving operations.
