The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is an 1887 architectural periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Publishing Company, written for architects, builders and the building trade. Its plates are photographs and printed drawings of contemporary American buildings, including a rotated facade, a corner office block with street views, and interior stairs and rooms, mostly reproduced sideways on the page. A designer could take from them the late-nineteenth-century commercial and residential vocabulary of bay windows, arched doorways, cast-iron balustrades and ornamental plaster.
