Few people get to say they live in an iconic home designed by legendary architect Harry Weese, a visionary of his time, and the first to convert industrial buildings into lofts. The Donahue Building is Situated in Printers' Row, and here you have an entertainer's dream. Almost 3000 sq feet stretching from Dearborn to Plymouth, open concept living, with sprawling 10+ ft ceilings, 7 ft windows with window seating and views that will never disappoint. The chef in you can delight in the massive kitchen, the heart of the home, timeless with all the modern day amenities and comforts; double ovens, dishwasher and disposal. The sunken entertainment room with curved ceiling ideal for movie nights, ballroom dancing, or a library for all your Printer's Row Lit Fest finds. In addition to the original birdcage elevator, one of the oldest in the city and a joy to ride, you also have a private access freight elevator for easy move in, and garbage pickup. The massive two feet of reinforced concrete once housed a massive printing press that ran classics like The Wizard of Oz. It was built to last-and Harry preserved that strength, turning it into something extraordinary. The Donahue stands proudly beside a cafe that could've been Gatsby's second home, a bar where jazz and wine flow and a bookstore that keeps time with the past. Every Saturday the block transforms into a community festival; free, local and full of life. This isn't just a place to live. It's a story worth telling.
