Printers Row History
In the late 19th and early 20th century, the buildings which now comprise the Printer's Row District were bustling with activity as part of the center for the city's publishing businesses. Beginning with the one and only Dearborn Station, this was the main departure spot for trains heading to the west. Celebrities were often found hanging out by the station as they waited to venture back to Los Angeles. Yet, Dearborn Station was more than what we know as the modern train station today: this is the hub where countless immigrants came to Chicago and began their lives.
Once technology advanced and began to transform, the businesses parted ways from the city, and in the late 1970s, the area became part of a revitalization project. In 1996,the Commission on Chicago Landmarks designated Printing House Row by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks.
