The folks who moved into Printers Row in 1978 have a different perspective.

Yeah, Chicago started converting warehouses to loft living no later than the mid-1980s and likely even earlier. In the film "About Last Night," an adaptation of "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," one of the characters lives in a converted warehouse loft and that film came out in 1986. The condo I have isn't in a converted warehouse, but the building across the street was and my building converted to condo in 1979 according to the documentation.
