Built in 1883, the Donohue Building was the first large printing factory in historic Printing House Row. The Annex was added in 1913. The Donohue Buildings served until 1971 as the headquarters of the M.A. Donohue Publishing Company, a well known publisher of classic children's literature. The building achieved another first in Chicago's history in 1979, becoming the first of the city's factory lofts to undergo conversion into a residential condominium.
