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 was designated a Chicago Landmark on May 9, 1996.[3] The district includes the Monadnock Building, the Manhattan Building, the Fisher Building, and the Old Colony Building.[2] The district overlaps significantly with the Printers Row neighborhood.
