The Toof Building is a six-story commercial structure in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, designed by G. M. Shaw and completed in 1913 for S. C. Toof & Co., the city's oldest printing company. Built in the Chicago School style, the brick edifice features distinctive terra cotta exterior elements and originally provided 53,667 square feet of production and office space. Located on Madison Avenue adjacent to AutoZone Park, the building stood vacant by 2008 before undergoing conversion to The Press Box Lofts residential apartments, which welcomed its first residents in November 2014. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
