A. Donahue Building at Plymouth and Polk 2007-01-10]] |} '''Printer's Row''', also known as Printing House Row, is a [[Community Areas of Chicago|neighborhood]] located south of the [[Chicago]] downtown area known as the [[Loop, Chicago|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. This neighborhood overlaps significantly with the officially designated landmark [[Printing House Row District]]. Just to the south of the District is [[Dearborn Station]], which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally, the buildings in this area were used by [[printing]] and [[publisher|publishing]] businesses. Today, the buildings have mainly been converted into residential lofts. ==Education== Printer's Row is zoned to the following [[Chicago Public Schools]] campuses: South Loop School and [[Phillips Academy High School]]. The area has also recently become a more student-oriented center with the addition of the University Center housing over 3,000 college students in dorm and apartment style units, as well as Dwight Lofts and 731 South Plymouth Court, two student housing buildings owned by [[Columbia College Chicago]]. Colleges nearby in the area include Roosevelt University, Columbia College, Robert Morris University Illinois, and DePaul University. ==External links== * [http://egov.cityofchicago.org/webportal/COCWebPortal/COC_ATTACH/Community_Areas_LOOP.pdf Official City of Chicago Loop Community Map] {{chicago}} {{coord missing|Illinois}}
