The Inland architect and news record

1887 · Chicago : Inland Pub. Co. · 4 pictures

The Inland Architect and News Record was a Chicago trade periodical issued in 1887 by the Inland Publishing Company for architects and builders. Its plates show architect-designed houses and a hotel interior with photographic halftones, alongside advertisements for building materials such as Cabot's Quilt deafening and insulating felt. A designer can take from them the restrained Colonial Revival facade with its arched entry and columned porch, the paneled interior with wicker-style chairs, and the late nineteenth-century typography of the trade advertisements.
