World's Largest Printing Co. Was Once Here

This structure was built for the Cuneo Printing Co., once the world's largest printer, which published Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan, and was here from 1929 to 1974. This information is from Inga Saffron's column in the Philadelphia Inquirer, 5/7/17, at p. H20. Ms. Saffron surmises that it is in the Gothic Revival style as homage to Johannes Gutenberg. She writes that Menasha Display is a tenant, but they seem to me to be at 601 E. Erie Avenue.
