RECAP: South Loft Walk

This fall we hit quite a few Loft Tour’s across the country. The latest hot loft community we previewed is Printers Row in Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood hosted by the South Loop Neighbors on Sunday, October 18th.  What was Chicago’s printing hub has became the first converted commercial district to now historic residential buildings.  This transformation began in 1979 and has evolved ever since.  The slow growth has allowed the area to mature, turning Dearborn St. into a main vain of restaurants, bars, and shops.  For the pioneers, this is a proud opportunity to show off what they have known about the landmark district all along.  Here are some of them. . .
