Printers Building

In 1886, George Sanford and Gilbert G. Davis formed a partnership, taking over the business of Franklin Printing Company, which was established in 1856. In 1890 Davis bought out the partnership. Davis, Commonwealth Press and J. S. Wesby constructed the 7-story Printers Building at 44 Portland Street together in 1923. In 1989 Davis Press was bought by the Lafayette Group.
