DNA Lofts comprises three connecting buildings. The original three-story brick building was constructed in 1929 for the Meisel Press Manufacturing Company, which produced printing presses and gears; it later served as a distribution point for contractors’ supplies.

The two new four-story buildings at either end of the historic structure share the same roofline but the new structures have a parapet of bright blue paneling with an edgy, wide, light blue cornice.

The result is a U-shaped complex with a landscaped courtyard enclosed by a tall black iron gate. The main entrance is from the courtyard.

Building A, the original building, contains 36 lofts, and Building B, has 11 condos; both have been built out. Building C holds 21 units.
