Between E. Court Street, E. 8th Street, Broadway, and Main Street (Central Business District)
Significance: Located at the eastern edge of the Central Business District, this district is characterized by predominantly five- to seven-story brick loft buildings with a number of single story automobile related commercial structures. The area is significant for its association with late 19th and early 20th century manufacturing activities, including printing and the production of paper, inks, and shoes. The most common architectural styles are Italianate and Chicago Commercial, but Richardsonian Romanesque, Classical Revival, Second Renaissance Revival, Art Deco, and International styles are also represented.
