Loft lovers will tell you there’s something about the Donohue Annex at 727 S. Dearborn in Printers Row. Located just south of The Donohue at 711 S. Dearborn, the Annex was added in 1913.

It’s been over 3 years since we’ve chattered about the Market Square Lofts at 161 W. Harrison in Printers Row.

There are two Donohue loft buildings on South Dearborn in Printers Row. We’ve chattered about them both. The Donohue Annex, at 727 S. Dearborn, is smaller and has concrete ceilings, not the timber found in the next door Donohue building at 711 S. Dearborn. This is a big selling feature in this building for those concerned about […]

This 3-bedroom loft at 727 S. Dearborn, in the historic Donohue Annex, in Printers Row is the kind of authentic loft many loft-lovers dream about.
