The Printing House Row District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing four architecturally important buildings on South Dearborn Street, between Jackson Boulevard (300 S.) and Ida B. Wells Drive (500 S., formerly Congress Parkway), in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as South Dearborn Street – Printing House Row Historic District and listed as a National Historic Landmark as South Dearborn Street – Printing House Row North Historic District on January 7, 1976.[2][1] The district includes the Monadnock Building, the Manhattan Building, the Fisher Building, and the Old Colony Building.[2]

It is adjacent to and just north of a similarly designated Printing House Row District that spans the 500 through 800 blocks of South Dearborn, South Federal and South Plymouth streets and that was declared a Chicago Landmark on May 9, 1996.[3]
