Printing Press in these cities: Madison,South Bend, Columbus, Milwaukee, Chicago

I know, completely random request right? I'm looking for a Newspaper printing press in any of those cities or nearby those cities. The preferred locations to look are: Madison WI, South Bend IN, and Columbus OH. However, Milwaukee & Chicago might be ok if the location is really cool. The location doesn't have to be in these cities, just nearby (1 or 2 hours may be ok if the location is cool).

I'm working on a project based out of those cities already (Madison, South Bend, & Columbus), and we would like to find a printing press that is in a very cool location / architecture. The building does not have to look exactly like the pictures below, the printing press should look similar to the one shown, however. As far as the building, the architecture just has to be interesting.

The request is based on this printing press in Columbus Indiana, which was originally desired for the project. However, the printing press itself was relocated , or no longer in that building. Here is a picture:





Seeing if someone here has something off the top of their head is just one of the many ways I find these locations. I do my own research, and investigations go deep.

If you have any ideas let me know sometime before 7/14/2014 . If I get any ideas on (7-11-14) that would be even better.
It's related to sports, but I can't really say much more than that. Thanks!

FYI, this is a fantastic example (KANSAS CITY STAR). Too bad Kansas City might be too far.



And then one in LA (LA TIMES)

They aren't exactly factories, although they look a lot like them.

I should have explained better (they actually didn't explain this well to us until I did my own research on what they wanted) that this kind of printing press is for newspapers. So, as it turns out, the Columbus Dispatch has been very kind and responded right away, and has been our best lead. Their printing press is located in a different building from their main one in Downtown Columbus, if anyone would know where that is (cough* ColdayMan, that would be much appreciated).

Not in the town we need it. These cities are based on out of towners making specific requests. I'd love to throw it in there, but i can't. You know I grew up in the ESTL area right?
