Atascadero Printery Foundation

About

One of Atascadero’s oldest buildings, The Printery, has been uninhabitable for years, but The Atascadero Printery Foundation aims to change that—soon!

The building, which was completed in 1915, was used as a printery until 1924. In 1916, The Atascadero News Building was added on and was in use until 1949 and demolished in the 1960s. During the Printery’s hay-day (1928 to 1949), a total of three colleges were hosted in the building. 

The Atascadero Printery Foundation has big plans for the building, including a performing arts theater (which will hold up to 300 people), an interactive printing museum, and meeting spaces for community use.
