Printer's Row, Chicago

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Printer's Row, also known as Printing House Row, is a neighborhood located south of the Chicago downtown area known as the Loop. It is bounded by Congress Parkway on the north, Polk Street on the south, Plymouth Court on the east, and the Chicago River on the west. The signature street is Dearborn Street where the annual Printer's Row Book Fair [1] is held.

Originally, the buildings in this area were used by printing and publishing businesses. Today, the buildings have mainly been converted into residential lofts.

The area is an official landmark district [2], though the landmark boundaries differ slightly from what most would consider Printer's Row.

[edit] Education

Printer's Row is zoned to the following Chicago Public Schools campuses: South Loop School and Phillips Academy High School.
