Pressworks Building (home of ABA Architects)

The Pressworks Building was constructed to house the presses for Fairway Publishing. In 1996, the building was carefully disassembled and re-erected in its current location, preserving a piece of history otherwise slated for demolition. The building has since been expanded and renovated as a collaborative space that houses ABA Architects. For kids, check out Urban Minds — The Architect’s Adventure.
