The Inland architect and news record
This is a plate from The Inland Architect and News Record, a Chicago trade periodical of 1887 aimed at architects and builders, showing residences and entrances designed by Cincinnati and Chicago firms. The four plates are photographic halftones of houses captioned with their owners' names and cities, printed on plain cream paper with generous margins. A designer can take from them the scale and massing of late nineteenth-century American houses, including the stone turret, broad porches, and stucco and shingle walls.
